The world's manufacturing sector has largely ground to a halt due to the ongoing disruptions to global supply chains. International travel restrictions and seismic shifts in demand and supply due to the Coronavirus pandemic have left dents in our highly globalised distribution networks. In many markets, this has led to dramatic reductions in supply. Burdened by a complex manufacturing process, is the semiconductor or integrated circuit (IC). Global shortages in ICs have decimated the supply chains of many key industries, with the poster-boy of this semiconductor crisis being the automotive industry. Industry analysts believe that the shortages will affect automotive production for at least two years.

However, the semiconductor shortage stretches far beyond the automotive and consumer electronic industries and has leaked into the industrial power supply market. This could have huge ramifications for your system design lead times. Today we'll discuss how we reached this point and how we can help you avoid the ongoing IC supply chain catastrophe.

How did this happen?

It's extremely easy to blame the IC shortage on Covid and yes, the pandemic has created the œperfect storm to generate these huge supply chain difficulties. However, without the underlying vulnerabilities in the manufacturing process, the strong effects of the pandemic's disruption may not have been so long-lasting. The causes of our current woes can be attributed “ according to analysts “ to globalisation and the ˜just in time' or lean management process and an explosion in demand.

At the beginning of the pandemic, many IC manufacturers scaled-down production due to an expected fall in demand. Whilst this did happen and industrial and commercial machine production and automotive production did slow down, what many chip makers didn't anticipate is the large spike in demand that followed. With many semiconductor factories still scaled-down, manufacturers just haven't been able to respond to the surging demand.
