Component shortages for building circuit boards. Materials used in the manufacturing of circuit boards are not readily available.
Communication breakdowns between you and overseas manufacturers.
Labor shortages in the areas of the problems that affect your manufacturers.
Fluctuating prices that cause your board production to be over-budget. Shipping problems that delay you from getting the product back into your factories.
