We categorize them as “C” items on any given Bill of Material (BOM), and they are so low-priced as to, virtually, seem negligible. Right up until the time that the crucial lack of a screw, barely costing fractions of a cent, can stall or altogether halt a costly subassembly dead in its tracks — stopping production lines, delaying shipments, hampering the ability to generate revenue, and yes, even making heads roll.  These cent-costing, and often less than cent-costing, items generally fly under the price radar, but they can cost us “big time” when suddenly, and unexpectedly, we run out of them in mid-production. That’s when minor “C” item components can cause us major Grade A problems. - [Movie Monday: Up Close with Creation Technologies’ CEO Stephen DeFalco](https://www.creationtech.com/movie-monday-up-close-with-creation-technologies-ceo-stephen-defalco/): Eric checks in with Creation Technologies’ CEO Stephen DeFalco, who assumed his role as CEO in 2019 from a background in the investment community.

The discussion ranges from how Creation Technologies is weathering the pandemic, its digitalization journey, when he expects the current material shortages to abate, how EMS is evolving to meet customer requirements, how they attract and retain talent, and much more. WATCH NOW - [RESIN SHORTAGES – A Perfect Storm](https://www.creationtech.com/resin-shortages-a-perfect-storm/): Through the years, we have seen the resin market weather storms of all types and severity. Hurricanes, petrochemical and plant fires, tariff wars, economic crises, sudden plant outages, wild swings in costs — these are just some of the many disruptive forces that have battered this market and left lasting effects. Today is no different. The resin market continues to face monumental challenges. Over the course of this past year alone, a series of significant and simultaneous events have shaken the industry to its core, in what can only be called a Perfect Storm. - [Analysis of a Pandemic-Induced Metals Market](https://www.creationtech.com/analysis-of-a-pandemic-induced-metals-market/): The metals market was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) led to sharp decline in consumption. Much of the metal processing production was curbed to meet this new demand. Metal inventories swelled, causing the prices to plummet. Distributors brought their inventory levels down considerably to mitigate the risk of an additional decline in demand, further reducing prices. Metal pricing hit rock bottom around the April to May timeframe and quickly rebounded. A surge in home office and learning products sales coupled with increased consumer confidence due to stimuli packages help spawn a quicker than anticipated recovery. Countries like China and Vietnam managed the virus quickly and worked to build manufacturing capacity to pre-pandemic levels. As demands picked up significantly, manufactures reluctantly started to increase the manufacturing and processing of raw materials. The depleted inventories, reduced capacity, and increase demand have caused a perfect storm in the market, pushing prices to the upper echelons. We’ll review the supply, demand, and other market conditions to see what 2021 will bring to us, looking at 3 metals: Copper, Aluminum, and Steel. - [EMSNOW Executive Interview: Stephen P.
