This blog will cover the information you need right now to keep your production running at its best during the Lunar New Year.
We'll delve deeper into the supply chain challenges facing electronics companies and explore the impact on the quality outcomes of their products.
The warehousing crunch has put a strain on electronics companies that rely on quick delivery of electronic components or PCBAs, especially from overseas.
Even though the CHIPS Act will funnel tens of billions of dollars into semiconductor factory construction, new domestic fabs won’t solve every problem.
The merging of both ECAD and MCAD allows virtual simulation of the manufacturing process.
On January 22nd, 2023, Lunar New Year celebrations will begin. Globally, this is the world’s largest human migration event. With it begins a long period of disruption for Asian electronics producers. Since electronics manufacturing is globally interconnected, any company with ongoing production needs can suffer during this holiday regardless where they produce.
This blog will cover the information you need right now to keep your production running at its best. We’ve already covered some steps to consider in our earlier [100-days to prepare post(/blog/100-day-countdown-to-lunar-new-year), including suggestions to
Now that we have 75 days left until Lunar New Year, this is a perfect time to explore why this significant impact on manufacturing exists. As a result, you will gain a deeper understanding why preparation is so important. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Factory reopenings may also face difficulties from China’s zero-COVID policies. As human migration increases, virus outbreaks become more likely. The hopes of fewer strict lockdowns have dimmed due to reports that China’s government will continue the policy until spring to prevent strain on the country’s healthcare system.
Further, the electronics manufacturing industry continues to see impacts from other factors, such as the conflict in Ukraine, rising energy and raw material costs, and potential tariff changes. Keeping these variables in mind when building your Lunar New Year plan will reduce the likelihood of unexpected difficulties.
Finally, consider reducing your reliance on overseas suppliers by taking advantage of North American manufacturing. MacroFab has flexible options across many factory lines located in Mexico, Canada, and the United States. This Lunar New Year, leverage our expert support team to meet your delivery deadlines.
