How supply chain resiliency issues impact the ability to hit design release

The video discusses the impact of supply chain resiliency issues on engineering's ability to hit design release milestones. It highlights the challenges faced by manufacturers due to supply chain fragility, such as delays in component delivery and the need for stringent checks. The research study mentioned in the video reveals that redesigning a board due to supply chain issues can take significant time, with a quarter of respondents spending 20 to 40 hours on average. Additionally, finding and approving new components for integration into the design can take several days to a week. These delays directly affect the ability to meet design release deadlines, potentially leading to delayed product launches and market disadvantages compared to competitors.

Overall, the video emphasizes the quantifiable impact of supply chain resilience on engineering's design release process. It highlights the importance of addressing supply chain challenges, as they can result in significant delays, increased time allocation, and potential market setbacks.
