Navigating Supply Chain Challenges

We’re facing some delays with our glass suppliers that are impacting our project timelines… I’ve noticed that communication with our vendors has been a bit inconsistent lately, and I’m considering a reassessment of our supplier options. Has anyone else experienced this, and what strategies are you using to mitigate the effects on your schedules?

I’ve definitely faced similar delays before. Sometimes, keeping a direct line of communication with a backup supplier helps smooth out hiccups. You might also consider setting clear expectations early to avoid miscommunication.
