EMSNOW speaks with John McKay, President of Sales, & John Magee, VP of Sales, Freedom USA, a global independent components distributor based in Florida, USA. The discussion covers the reasons behind the current inventory overhang situation. The allocation cycle has lasted longer than usual and the inventory build-up is more severe resulting in imbalances and cash flow problems; this discussion goes into the weeds about what customers are saying and how they are managing through it. Is it a pendulum or a bullwhip? Whatever you call it, companies have to find a way through the swings in the component supply chain. It’s a fascinating discussion about this important subject with two seasoned industry experts.
