Significant Complex and Non-Complex Objects During COVID-19
Abstract
If, over time, the capacity and ability to make objects is replaced with importing products from other nations; then, when international borders are restricted or even closed, the provision of goods becomes a significant challenge. Observation of the response by Australian manufacturers as they pivoted their activities to address shortages of key objects needed during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the value of this sector in the making of objects that are both complex and not so complex. Complex objects have long been revered due to their high value, and non-complex objects are generally less valued. However, non-complex objects have an equally important role to play, as was highlighted when borders and supply chains were disrupted due to the pandemic. This chapter will shed light on how the making of objects both complex and not complex should together be supported to maintain and grow the ability and capacity for a nation to provide for its object-based needs, particularly during difficult times.
