Abstract:

The problem of the shortage of chips in the world depends on the complexity of the codependency and interdependence of the value and supply chain between China DSML (Data Science and Machine Learning), Holland ASML (Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography), the manufacture of lasers for tin droplets in California USA, the technology of Lithography Extreme Ultraviolet, the necessary components for the manufacture of machines in the United Kingdom, and ceramics from Japan, as well as the need for Silicon, which trigger a supply problem and shortage of chips for the manufacture of telephones and cars, which only in Europe they have a deficit of half a million cars in 2021, due to the use of 4,000 chips per car, as well as the problem of containers and carriers both in the UK due to Brexit, and in the US due to the pandemic; what is causing an inflation problem globally, the problem lies in the complexity of the supply chain because not all supply chains are the same, in particular the one that has to do with chips. The objective is to explain the process of chip shortages and its repercussions from the just-in-time technique and is done through documentary review and deductive analysis allowing us the existing supply chain, and its repercussions on the world crisis and the identification of the systematic problem of distribution, through inflation and deflation, affecting the value chain system.
