U.S. aircraft makers assert the ongoing Japanese crisis hasn't affected production yet, but in the coming weeks there could be supply chain disruptions resulting from factory shutdowns in the island nation. "We just don't know," said Teal Group analyst Richard Aboulafia, when asked if the industry would suffer supplier issues that are currently plaguing the technology and automobile industries. "Historically, Japanese industry bounces back pretty fast. The problem is, of course, it's a global supply chain, and you're only as strong as your weakest link."
The increasing interconnectedness of the global economy has largely driven down costs, but it is also hurting businesses now as Japanese manufacturers struggle to bring production back to full capacity, according to aviation analyst Loren Thompson."Of course there's going to be an impact because the United States has gradually offshored many industrial parts that were once produced domestically," affirmed Thompson.
