#### Inconsistent Delivery

Inability to consistently meet Just-in-Time (JIT) requirements causes costly production slowdowns and supply chain inefficiencies.

![ata-icon-cost](https://ata.com/hubfs/ata-2024-theme-assets/icons/ata-icon-cost.svg)

#### Capacity Limitations

Scaling to meet demand can lead to major supply chain bottlenecks and increase costs.

![ata-icon-no technology](https://ata.com/hubfs/ata-2024-theme-assets/icons/ata-icon-no%20technology.svg)

#### Lack of Technology & Data Integration

Manufacturers demand advanced tracking, real-time visibility, and predictive analytics that many suppliers struggle to provide.
