Just-in-time manufacturing is pre-medidated on the idea that whatever you need is available immediately for a fair price.
I think we'll see some of this in the future where a company's only purpose may be to hedge on bets on what will be unavailable in the near future for "a fair price"
- jaggederest 6y agoA "market-maker", in the form of a financial firm that just skims pennies off, but for chip supply, instead of other financial instruments :)
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoI wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being like buying power "in bulk" where you pay a little more but there's a guarantee that when "the chips are down" (sorry, couldn't resist), the company will eat the difference. I do think the market won't use these suppliers a lot just like the US-made masks which got millions of orders but only after china stopped sending stuff.
