Overview: Supply chains typically face a number of external challenges that can reduce the responsiveness of the system. Examples include long component lead times, erroneous components, capacity constraints and missing information about true end customer demand. Compared to other industries, the high-tech industry is confronted with a large number of challenges to supply chain management.

This paper explains the key challenges in high-tech supply chain management.
