I think it's time for companies to revisit the Just-In-Time strategy since one of the primary risks was the availability of physical resources to execute project tasks.
Yes but don’t keep the whole subject revolving around this risk. Even though it is a risk, it is still beneficial for items other than long lead ones so maybe the strategy for short lead items, should be dealt with by keeping minimum stock and the rest JIT combined with technology like RFID to track minimum stock.

Management of inventories, stores and warehouses can quickly become an additional activity and cost to the project. Add that to the increased cost of the limited resources themselves and things get expensive real quick.

Agreed, the supply shortages presented a myriad of problems for our construction projects - everything from scheduling to storage/staging, and billing processes.
Additionally, dealing with entire crews being out with covid has added to the challenge.
