The Committee wanted to know more about the short and medium-term structural challenges facing Scotland鈥檚 supply chain.
As part of the inquiry, the Committee undertook a call for views which closed on 9 November 2021 and received 40 responses in total.
A supply chain is the end to end process of creating products and delivering them to customers.
The Committee is aware of the current challenges that business and industry are facing. Some of these are short-term issues like access to fuel and raw materials to make products. Others are longer-term issues, such staff shortages, or having people with the skills needed by business in the parts of the country where there are vacancies.
The Committee published its report on 28 April 2022. A copy of the report can be found below
