Delays in TSMC’s Arizona plant spark supply chain worries

Delays in TSMC’s Arizona plant spark supply chain worries

Delays at TSMC’s Arizona plant could compel its customers to rely on Taiwan-based facilities, leaving them vulnerable to geopolitical risks tied to Taiwan’s dominance in semiconductor production. “This situation could also delay the rollout of next-generation products in the US market, affecting timelines for AI, gaming, and high-performance computing innovations,” Rawat said. “Moreover, without access to local, advanced chips, US tech companies will incur higher transportation and import costs, diminishing their profit margins. In competitive…

ERP e gestionali: le sfide nascoste delle implementazioni e come superarle

ERP e gestionali: le sfide nascoste delle implementazioni e come superarle

Implementare un sistema gestionale non significa soltanto introdurre un nuovo software, ma condurre un’azione di change management che deve partire dal CEO e dagli altri executive. I CIO ne sono convinti: quando si porta in azienda un CRM, un ERP, un MES, un PLM o qualunque altro gestionale, SAP incluso, i vertici e, a cascata, tutti i dipartimenti, devono credere nel modo nuovo di impostare i processi. L’alternativa è votare il progetto al fallimento a…
