About SupplyChain911

A public board of plant closures, supply chokepoints and manufacturing news, published by BOMForge.

What this is

SupplyChain911 is a public board showing where the American industrial base is losing capacity and where its remaining capacity sits in too few hands. It is published by BOMForge, which indexes US manufacturers by capability, certification, material and place.

Why it exists

A plant closing is public. A capability narrowing to two states is not, because seeing it requires an index of who makes what and where. We hold that index, so we publish the second fact next to the first.

The board is deliberately free and open. The measurement that produces it is the product, and it lives at bomforge.com.

What it will not do

It does not rank companies, name a company as failing, or tell you a supplier is at risk. A WARN notice is a filing about a facility, not a judgement about a firm, and this board reproduces it as a filing.

Corrections

If a filing is reproduced incorrectly, or a reading looks wrong, write to hello@bomforge.com and name the page. Corrections are made against the source record.
