The semiconductor roller coaster - 5 lessons for systems engineers
In 2020, it was predicted that semiconductors would be in short supply for many years. This has since changed.
The importance of PLM in crises
PLM is about managing the life cycle of products. This also includes dealing with suppliers. Our supply chains are now global, complex and sensitive. In "normal" times, everything seems to work well. But in times of crisis, the weak points are mercilessly exposed. Examples include sold-out toilet paper during corona times or price increases for organic meat,...
The supply chain as part of systems engineering
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted many inefficiencies in supply chains. The shortage of toilet paper in spring 2020 is one example of this, but it can also be attributed to irrational consumer behavior in some cases. The current bottleneck in semiconductors is more interesting for systems engineering. As the supply chain is part of systems engineering according to ISO 15288, it is...
