How is Chipageddon affecting you?

Most things will not change.

Screwing suppliers is an integrap part of the culture of "big" companies. If you want to climb up the corporate ladder, you have some choices
- screw customers (a very bad idea)
- screw employees (they tend to sue so you have to be very careful)
- screw suppliers (always a good one)

JIT works all the time you have willing suppliers.

Unless you are Amazon, in which case you can do all three with impunity! :D

peter-h:
I know how Amazon do it (I have a shop there also): nearly everything they sell is either chinese crap (which can be resold with huge margins) or well known branded products (which also have huge margins, and whose owners needs to watch Amazon constantly for counterfeits). Normal western-made products are difficult to sell via Amazon, mainly because right under your product they have the "Products related to this item" banner, which is a pile of chinese stuff; mostly crap. The company is successful because they sell stuff at prices people like (chinese, mostly), they deliver fast, and it is usually easy to get a refund. For a supplier with "normal" margins, Amazon is hard work, expensive in a number of areas, and they are almost impossible to communicate with. AWS is a similarly shit service; OK when it is running and when something goes wrong you are dealing with complete morons.

Off topic though :)

I was monitoring FT4232 availability for several months now. It is getting better, but the lead times are still pulled from /dev/random.
