Fabless Semiconductor Industry Research: Building a Better Supply Chain.
This study was performed in conjunction with the FSA. It underscores how increasingly complex fabless semiconductor designs and growing challenges regarding design hand-off to foundries, coupled with difficulty with logistics and the need to manage costs, all impact supply chain effectiveness. These changing market forces are having a significant impact on partner relationships, how they are executed, and demonstrates how these impact industry participants’ ability to maintain control over outsourced operations.
