As measures, weekly escalations were set up with key suppliers, second source suppliers were established and forecast figures for purchased components were defined. Successes include a reduction in backlog customer orders and shorter delivery times.<\/p><div class=\"link-container\"><\/div><\/div>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div
