Frequently asked questions
Q: How Accenture helps the semiconductor industry?
Accenture can help semiconductor companies reinvent themselves to build supply chain resiliency, engage across the ecosystem, drive mergers and acquisitions, and help design the next generation of chips.
Q: What is a modern semiconductor supply chain?
A modern supply chain is built to be scalable and resilient to disruptions. An effective semiconductor supply chain has diversified their suppliers across each channel may also conduct tests or centralized monitoring and has vertical insight to identify potential trouble areas.
Q: What is the semiconductor ecosystem?
The semiconductor ecosystem provides engagement across the development of a semiconductor. This ecosystem includes integrated device manufacturing (IDM), fabless companies, foundries and equipment manufacturers.
Q: Why is there a semiconductor chip shortage?
The current chip shortage was brought on by a series of environmental, geo-political and pandemic related events that forced many manufacturers to slow production and revise forecasting. This resulted in a scramble of available chips when manufacturers increased production.
