This is not an improvement at all. Try to read the original at a slow pace, it is very straightforward but still precise.

If they are trying to say there aren't enough ingredients to make the drug then the second way is better. But that isn't the same as what the original sentence said.
The phrase 'issue with manufacturing of' covers a much wider range of problems than a shortage. Maybe they have tonnes of materials and they just need a mechanic to fix the machine for example. No shortages of anything except people in the right place at the right time.
