Topic	Why is there still a shortage?
ultra magnus13 05/26/21 11:02:14 PM #25:	DragonClaw01 posted... It still seems wierd to me why covid would affect manufacturing of chips. I always thought the majority of these factories are largely automated anyways and companies like Amazon have shown that you can still run an efficient labor intensive business even during covid The factory could be 100% automated, might help, but wouldn't stop the shortage. The trucks that bring there materials are not. If they have a labor shortage, they may not be getting enough shipments of material, the shipping company may not be able to source enough vehicles for delivery. The factory that turns raw material into components for the chip manufacturers may have labor shortages and bag logs, they may also be having delivery logistic issues with there raw material. The mine where these raw materials are harvested may be having labor issues, they may not be able to replace there mining equipment as it goes down, because they are also back logged. --- ?huh?........ it's just a box. <cite>ultra magnus13 posted [p:954340959] in Why is the...
