18 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 2 While the supply chain is improving in some areas, at times CEESI still struggles to get the products and items that it needs in order to complete calibrations for its customers. Delays in obtaining parts needed to repair meters, instrumentation needed for calibration, and the logistical demands of transporting meters to and from our facilities can all contribute to projects being delayed. Flournoy notes that CEESI is very adept at keeping the lines of communication open and customers informed when supply chain disruptions occur. CEESI prides itself in the retention of its employees. There has been very little turnover over multiple decades of operation. Several current team members have been with the company for over ten years with some having provided over thirty years of service. Schoonover attributes much of that to how well it treats its employees and the career opportunities it provides them. “We’ve always been a great company to work for and we are set up to continue that for the future,” Schoonover says. “Our employees work hard and are the best and most qualified professionals in this very specialized industry.” In 2023 CEESI plans to bring back key capabilities while expanding the level of services it offers. Schoonover says he also wants to achieve faster turnaround times, which are more possible as pressures on the supply chain may abate further. Significant investments are being made to expand these capabilities to meet what is expected to be strong demand in 2023-24.
