This is spot on. I see it daily. It is chaos.I talked to a friend today who works for a major OEM and his comment was the logistic chain is in total disarray. Parts shortages at all levels of the build from fastners to complete sub assemblies in the US and over seas. His comment was if you have What you need today you may be out of it the next day. He not only has to contact the manufacturer but also follow the truck and rail shipments from the supplier to final delivery. With common parts moving them between plants borrow payback. He also commented on slow processing in customs. The manufacturers are struggling at all levels of the supply chain. Supplier lead time is out of control. OEM’s are very good at material forecasting for production. Hard to factor in todays problems. I wish them well.
