Jim Kavanaugh: WWT Gets Creative To Handle Supply Chain Challenges
'The lead times of product shipping have extended in such a crazy fashion, that…you could have a lead time, that could be anywhere from three to 400 days,' says Jim Kavanaugh, CEO of World Wide Technology, to CRN TV.
It's a challenge not even St. Louis-based global IT giant World Wide Technology can escape -- supply chain issues.
With no clear end in sight, Jim Kavanaugh, CEO of WWT, sees two major issues impacting his business: one is the general supply chain, and two is the chip shortage.
How are the supply chain issues and chip shortages impacting WWT?
"Those two pieces we're seeing have a pretty significant impact on our ability to actually ship product out, [and] that's directly impacting our customers."
