Today, that figure is eight to 10 weeks, he said, and he's taken on"more debt than I would have preferred" to increase stockpiles. Higher upfront inventory spending, as well as the increasing cost of raw materials used for components such as product labels, has led to a 25% decrease in monthly cash flow this year compared to last year, she said. Dviniti had mostly been absorbing increasing operating costs throughout the pandemic, Robinson-Garcia said, but will likely raise prices for customers after the new year.
"I think sometimes when we face challenges in our community, we have a tendency not to want to reach out," she said."And I think that these are just some social, or maybe cultural, things that ... get in the way of the business. I think we have a heck of a lot more to overcome than the supply chain."
