INSTRUCTIONS The goal of this paper is to investigate a supply chain problem or issue and propose a solution for that problem (topic below). You may focus on what a particular company or industry has done or is doing to combat the problem and critique those efforts. Alternatively, you may focus the report on a particularly good (best practice) or particularly bad example of a supply chain management practice by a company or industry, providing details of the example and how the company/industry has dealt with the issue.

Introduction
The economy has been facing a confluence of problems that led to the strategies of semiconductor chips. In addition, this long-standing issue within the industry was held by the insufficient capacity of the semiconductor fabs and the aspect of pandemic introduced on president challenges in the semiconductor chip industry. The chip shortages were held by the shutdown of the automotive production lines in 2021 and the industry itself was found in an unaccustomed position. Moreover, the automakers cut their chip orders in early 2020 but when the demand recovered by the time the production lines had already shifted to meet the demand.
Reason for Chip Shortage
The circumstances that led to the development of the shortages of semiconductor chips have been developed in the past few years. This was accelerated due to the shutdowns that were caused by the pandemic and their wear other factors that accelerated this aspect and lead to such a predicament. Most of the factors were related to the rise in the demand for the 5G and this had increased the demand for the semiconductor chips. Moreover, the winter storm that was rigorous in Texas shut down the semiconductor factories which hampered the supply of the chips (Krolikowski et al., 2021). The fire in a semiconductor plant in Japan also caused delays to meet the demand for the chips.
