Supply Crisis
Manufacturers were happy to move production out of NA and Europe to save a buck. Now they are whining and in real trouble because the long and complicated JIT supply chains they created are unraveling.
When I was in the business working for a company that built 15 million electronics devices annually, we had the motto “Build on the continent in which you consume” This saved our bacon on multiple occasions. As CTO, I would not approve Renasas for new designs as the didn’t have a viable disaster recovery plan. Now those that use them are paying the price. For single source semi’s like microprocessors and DAC’s, I needed multiple fabs on different continents and the same with packaging plants. Some companies are doing better than others because they have paid attention to supply chain security. I agree this is a short term situation that will resolve itself over time.
