Hi all, first time poster here and just wanted to gauge everyone's thoughts, opinions and knowledge on what is going on with delivery times for new equipment? Clearly, the global supply chain for raw materials and components is having some impact on this, but is there anything else behind these delays?
Are customers accepting of it?
What can be done to improve/manage the lead times?
What are the OEMs positions on this?
When will they start to reduce?
All thoughts welcome.
