What's a global supply chain?
A global supply chain is the network of companies, people, and activities involved in getting a product from its raw materials to the consumer. For memory chips, this chain spans multiple countries for design, manufacturing, and assembly. Disruptions at any point, like a chip shortage, can have ripple effects worldwide, impacting various industries and economies.
