New Report: The Semiconductor Shortage - A Chat With Jeff Howell

Send me a messageThe global semiconductor shortage has been playing havoc with supply chains for a good 12-18 months at this stage. And it doesn't look set to be fixed any time soon.And just recently my colleague Jeff Howell published a fascinating, comprehensive Point of View paper all about the semiconductor shortage. To find out more, I invited him to come on the podcast to talk about it.We had a fantastic conversation talking about what Jeff uncovered in his months of research into the chip shortage, how it is affecting our customers, what they plan to do about it, and strategies to ensure any future shortages similar to this cause minimal disruption.You can check out the point of view paper here.  And on the podcast, Jeff also mentioned some videos that were developed to support the chip shortage.  Here they are for you:https://video.sap.com/media/t/1_ol90e6um “Shake Chain” Logisticshttps://video.sap.com/media/t/1_6zd5ue56 Big Data in the Garden of Siliconhttps://video.sap.com/media/t/1_lsglh5i0 Our Brave New Virtual WorldOh, and this is one of the first podcast episodes that I have created chapters for.
