𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱: Workforce continuity is now a managed variable. Reservist call-ups affect production schedules in ways that didn't exist at this scale before. Suppliers have adapted — cross-training, documented handoffs, dual-coverage on critical operations — but the planning overhead is real. Logistics windows have tightened. Air freight routes have shifted. Insurance and routing decisions take longer. Travel from international clients dropped. The visibility gap that always existed at distance got wider. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: Israeli precision machining capability. Heat treatment and special process accreditation. AS9100 discipline at established suppliers. NADCAP coverage. The technical baseline that made these suppliers attractive in the first place. The risk profile shifted from "is the part being made on schedule" to "is the program staying visible." That's an operational problem, not a sourcing one. It's solved by closer, more structured oversight — not by re-sourcing to a new geography. The suppliers are still capable. The distance is still the issue. The fix is presence. #Aerospace #SupplyChain #IsraelAerospace #SupplierManagement #Procurement
