Episode Highlights

02:48 The two biggest things are, one is supply chain, getting the right components to build a system. The other thing that’s been the biggest problem is maintenance cost. 

03:06 I think the problem is not just our industry, it’s overall, we simply weren’t prepared and we didn’t know how to handle the situation. 

04:49 One of the lessons that’s been learned is to provide money into improving infrastructure. 

05:43 Maintenance really has to become part of the process. 

12:06 I find that we’re lagging behind standards. Also, a lot of conferences have been canceled last year and there’s a lot of knowledge that’s been given, imparted and shared at these conferences and that hasn’t been possible. 

17:56 We’re still reacting rather than implementing new procedures properly. 

27:15 “CEO Corner” – Ryan Sberna is sharing his thoughts and challenges during the pandemic.
