The Semiconductor Chip Shortage What caused the supply crunch and how do firms navigate the situation

 

BCG defines supply chain resilience as the capacity of a company to absorb stress, to recover critical functionality and to thrive in altered circumstances. At a high level, we see six factors driving resilience:

  • Anticipate and prepare for worst case scenarios would require that you learn from the past
  • Create different types of capabilities to respond to a crisis
  • Connect with the broader system to provide external buffer
  • Hold excess capacity and resources to buffer shocks
  • Organize in loosely linked modules to isolate impact
  • Build capability to respond quickly to changes

In the webinar, a deep dive into semiconductors will illustrate why the global automotive industry lost 10 million cars in 2021 while Tesla was able to grow deliveries by 87%.
