It's a tiny thing - a computer chip - with a massive influence on the world economy andour everyday lives. Production of computer chips (i.e., semiconductors) is concentrated inhuge factory operations in Asia. When flowing normally, the supply chain for chips isreliable. Orders are arranged long in advance of new product introductions forcellphones, computers, gaming consoles, and automobiles. Supply of these tinycomponents continues throughout the life cycle of the product, uninterrupted andinvisible to the consumer. But when supply is delayed due to pandemic-related laborshortages, dock closures, natural disasters or global conflict, and coveted products thatuse these chips are also delayed, consumers begin to notice supply chains and their global reach.
