But relying solely on Chinese suppliers can expose your projects to many hidden dangers. 🇨🇳 Our latest article dives into the potential risks of using Chinese tungsten, including: -Unpredictable Quality: Lax quality control standards can lead to inconsistent performance and potential product failure. -Environmental Hazards: Mining practices may not prioritize environmental protection, raising concerns about sustainability. -Supply Chain Disruptions: Resource nationalism and trade tensions could limit access to vital materials. -Price Fluctuations: Dependence on a single source leaves you vulnerable to price swings. There's a better way! 🇺🇸 Our article explores the many benefits of choosing American-made tungsten suppliers, like Tungsten Parts Wyoming (TPW). With TPW, you get: -Unmatched Quality: Strict US manufacturing standards guarantee reliable performance. -Environmentally Responsible Practices: TPW prioritizes sustainability throughout the supply chain. -Secure Domestic Supply Chain: Avoid disruptions and ensure on-time delivery. -Stable Pricing: Peace of mind knowing costs stay predictable.

A worthwhile read discussing the merits of Boeing getting back to basics in part by shedding its global services (BGS) division. My experience is that Boeing does not deliver any value in the supply chain for aftermarket parts, especially for the support of non-Boeing aircraft. Instead, its cumbersome and top-heavy org chart only exacerbate problems. The article mentions Aviall, A Boeing Company as perfect illustration of this concept at work.

Another massive recall is plaguing Ford: Over the weekend, Ford announced that more than 90,000 vehicles had faulty engine intake valves that could break and cause engine failure. Affected models include the 2021-2022 Bronco, F-150, Edge, Explorer, Lincoln Nautilus, and Aviator equipped with either a 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine. The fix? Ford says dealers will check each vehicle's engine cycles. If the count is too low, they’ll run the engine at high RPMs as part of a test... And here's the punch line: Vehicles that don't pass these inspections will get a whole new engine. Bottom line: With recall and warranty costs hitting $2.3 billion in Q2, Ford is losing $25.5 million a day. The pressure’s on to fix these issues fast — or risk even bigger losses.
