Our first post in the series about chip shortage mitigation in 2022 examines how you can assure quality during the semiconductor shortage. We know that shortages force change in sourcing practices, as typically reliable supply channels simply aren’t available to meet...
The complexity of the ongoing semiconductor shortages tests supply chains worldwide. Here are 3 contributing factors. With 2022 well underway, we are tracking the ongoing challenges and changes in the semiconductor industry, including global semiconductor shortages....
While variables like rising metal prices are out of manufacturers’ control, taking charge of excess inventory solutions offers stability. In an already volatile market, the cost of source metals is rising. A recent survey by IPC found that nine out of ten...
Semiconductor global supply and demand had an outsize impact on automotive manufacturing in recent years. What does the future look like for chip-heavy vehicles? New consumer electric vehicle adoption has increased around 50% a year since 2015, thanks in large part to...
Supply chain challenges impacting discrete manufacturing will continue in 2022, posing critical opportunities for resiliency. Though late 2021 reports from IC Insights and other industry sources indicated that discrete manufacturing was looking up, we see that...
