Who Will Be at Risk of Allocation in the Next Shortage? Who Will Be at Risk of Allocation in the Next Shortage? The electronics industry is said to be experiencing a ‘major crisis’, and for good reason. Shortages of critical components, such as the reduced supply of capacitors in 2018 and now the difficulties acquiring semiconductor chips and electrical connectors, lead buyers down various routes—if any—to procure as many of the necessary components as they can. The ability to manage risks is one of the primary factors in a sustainable parts supply chain Read Article
