This episode examines the worldwide shortage of semiconductors, which has disrupted supply chains for well over a year and shows little sign of ending soon. It draws on a detailed research paper written after months of study.
The discussion covers the root causes, noting that this is not the first time the industry has faced a shortage, and the way it has affected businesses that depend on chips, from household appliances to vehicles. The paper frames its advice around three aims: keeping customer relationships on track, maintaining revenue, and putting better processes in place so that any future shortage causes less disruption.
