Series 10 – Episode 3 – The evolving status of the supply chain
Summary
“We expect these problems to continue through Q2/Q3 of 2023.” Recent supply chain trends are also pushing manufacturers to amass unnecessarily large inventories. “What happens in a shortage is what we call a bunker mentality – the builders go out and buy as much as they can because they obviously want to have products to build at their end. There’s going to be excess inventory.” The major semiconductor shortage of the past few years has triggered a massive surge in companies turning to open market distributors to secure chips. So, the best solution for us and for our customers was for us to actually acquire our own test house.” Romano goes on to talk about what impact the Russian-Ukraine conflict had on global supply chains and how crypto introduces volatility into the semiconductor market.
