The Supplier Deliveries Index indicat- ed faster deliveries and the Inventories Index dropped 3 percentage points as panelists’ companies continued to manage the total supply chain inventory. The Prices Index decreased for a seventh straight month and fell into con- traction territory, which should encourage buyers. “Manufacturing expanded for the 29th straight month in October. Panelists’ companies continue to carefully manage hiring, month-over-month supplier delivery per- formance was the best since March 2009, and the Prices Index indicated decreasing prices for the first time since May 2020.

As a result, managing medium-term head counts and supply chain inventories remain primary goals. With the decline in the Backlog of Orders Index, buyers and sellers will be- gin to shore up order books and order streams to reduce share loss in the medium-to-long term.”
