What happened
Honeywell Aerospace's chief executive said the company has sent its own skilled workers to work at some of its suppliers.
The move is aimed at addressing labor shortages, according to the CEO.
Why it matters
The step suggests labor shortages are affecting not only Honeywell but also its supplier network, which the company appears to be trying to stabilize by lending its own personnel.
For the aerospace supply chain, staffing gaps at suppliers can ripple outward, so placing experienced workers on site may be a way to keep operations moving without waiting for suppliers to hire on their own.
