The past 12 months have been among the most challenging in many of our careers. The next 12 maybe even more so. The COVID-19 pandemic created worldwide supply and demand imbalances; this, combined with the decoupling of global supply chains, presents daunting challenges as we work to get the right products to the right places at the right time, and of course at the right price. In a time of economic growth and strong demand, the semiconductor industry is experiencing multiple disruptions: supply shortages, unpredictable delivery times, and increased raw material and shipping costs. For an industry that has perfected just-in-time practices to deliver constant cost reductions, this is uncharted territory. In this webinar, seasoned supply chain experts from semiconductor manufacturing and the materials supply chain will provide us with insights on the current landscape, what to expect in the next 12 months, and how they are positioning their organizations to survive and thrive in this dynamic environment.
