DTNS SPECIAL - Chip Shortage: The Logistics Issues Jul 31, 2021

Show notes

We talk about the chip shortage a lot on DTNS and I think we do a pretty good job of explaining the basics of the issue. There was fluctuation in orders there was unexpected demand and the chip plants are now operating at capacity while they try to work through the backlog and bring on new plants to add capacity. The shortage was most acute in automobiles because of the unexpected demand there but has started to affect other sectors as well.
