✍ Strategic Insights - Semiconductor subsystems: the market decouples from equipment on inventory backlog The previous two years saw #equipment makers increase their orders for #subsystems to secure supply and keep up with strong demand, as they ramped up production capacity to address the chip shortage and supply chain disruptions. However, as the broader slowdown in the #semiconductor market in the fourth quarter of 2022 resulted in a deceleration in equipment demand in 2023, equipment #manufacturers found that they did not need the volume of parts they had ordered. Gaël Giusti from Yole Group comments: “This decline in demand, associated with high inventory levels at OEMs, constituted the “perfect storm” for equipment suppliers in 2023…” 👉 Full story on https://lnkd.in/eZ9Qt-jv

In part one of this two-part article on #cycletime, Dennis Xenos delves into why it's a priority for semiconductor manufacturers and explains its impact on revenue acceleration, competitive advantage, market responsiveness, risk mitigation, and inventory management. He explores the vital role of cycle time in achieving predictability, measuring and monitoring fab performance, and influencing the broader supply chain. Uncover the components of fab cycle time and grasp how understanding the operating curve can optimize factory utilization.

The electronic components supply chain is evolving post-pandemic and semiconductor shortage. To avoid future disruptions, industry players are revisiting strategies. Challenges like lack of diversity, JIT manufacturing over-reliance, and unfavorable contracts need addressing. It can be difficult for companies to manage these challenges independently, especially when it requires various tools and strategies. There is a way organizations can overcome these problems in one fell swoop.💡 Partnering with a global electronic components distributor like Sourceability can help OEMs, CMs, and EMS providers combat supply chain challenges in any industry.

This episode of the #EricMiscollShow discusses electronic component inventory issues with Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) Chief Analyst Dale Ford and Jeff Ray, SVP Global Strategic Accounts, TTI, Inc.. They unpack where we are on the semiconductor cycle, results from the latest WSTS and ECIA survey data, what to expect from the next few quarters, and why we can’t seem to get forecast demand and actual demand aligned well enough to prevent the bullwhip effect from causing major upheavals every few years. They discuss what’s different this time and what is aligned with historical patterns. #electronicsmanufacturing #electroniccomponents #distribution #EMS #SCOOP #TheEMS #EMSNOW

LMC Automotive reports that the automotive sector is experiencing significant supply chain disruptions, primarily due to a shortage of semiconductors, accounting for more than 50% of the total lost volume.

🔔 Industry Alert: Threatened Closure of One of the Nation's Last Remaining Microchip Factories 🔧 The recent news about the potential closure of one of the country's last remaining microchip factories is a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities in the electronic components supply chain. This highlights the critical need for robust obsolescence management strategies to safeguard against such disruptions. Coherent, a US semiconductor company, has stopped accepting orders at its County Durham facility. The company announced that the 310,000 sq ft site may have to be sold following Apple's decision to discontinue using Coherent as a supplier. The plant is reported to have previously supplied chips for multiple British military platforms. At CMCA(UK), we understand the profound impact that the closure of a semiconductor facility can have on industries dependent on these vital components. Here’s why having a comprehensive obsolescence management plan and leveraging long-term storage solutions is essential: Importance of Obsolescence Management 1. Proactive Risk Mitigation: Effective obsolescence management identifies potential risks early, enabling proactive measures to secure the supply of critical components. 2. Cost Efficiency: Anticipating obsolescence issues helps avoid costly redesigns and production delays. 3. Supply Chain Resilience: Ensures that your operations remain unaffected by sudden supply chain disruptions. Power of Long-Term Storage 1. Component Availability: Secure storage facilities for electronic components ensure that essential parts are available when needed, even if the original manufacturer ceases production. 2. Longevity and Reliability: Proper storage conditions maintain the integrity and functionality of components over extended periods, supporting long-term projects and equipment life cycles. 3. Strategic Stockpile: Creating a strategic reserve of components can be the difference between maintaining production continuity and facing operational shutdowns. At CMCA(UK), our tailored obsolescence management solutions and state-of-the-art long-term storage facilities are designed to support your through-life equipment needs. Our expertise ensures that you stay ahead of potential disruptions, safeguarding your supply chain and maintaining operational excellence. 📞 Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you develop a robust obsolescence management strategy and secure your supply chain against future uncertainties. #ObsolescenceManagement #SupplyChainResilience #LongTermStorage #SemiconductorIndustry #CMCAUK Antony Elliott Don Griffiths
