Chip shortage?we have the solution !

CREATE your own stock

If you want to get your product to market quickly, it is important to remove all uncertainties before you start the designing process.

Currently, the biggest uncertainty is the chip stock. To remove this uncertainty, make sure that once you have selected a suitable chip, you purchase it before you start designing.

Depending on the needs of the customer, complete series can be purchased to provide serial production of the product.

liquidity

A major disadvantage of this approach, is the large pre-financing involved. After all, a company must be able to make these financial choices without jeopardizing its liquidity. But a much bigger threat is developing a product of which chips are no longer available and therefore a product cannot be made.

The solution

Engage with suppliers! Make sure you have good partners around you that you can build on. Some suppliers think along with you and can supply you with stock without you having to pay for it directly. This way you still reserve the necessary components and your liquidity remains intact.

Result

With this new approach, developments can continue but the global chip shortage has made the development process uncertain and planning more difficult. The shortage has a major impact on the work and the process flow. In short: the working method used previously is no longer sufficient. A good network with flexible suppliers is essential to still be able to develop these days. Start by figuring out and procuring the chips before you start designing.
