Lean supply chains and centralised production don’t help. Reply to this message | Report message

I work in this business - a whole bunch of things have conspired to cause the current issues. Customers are used to placing orders at fairly short notice (even though it takes 3-4 months to make chips from start to finish) and now we're having to tell them to order for 1H22.

Try Googling 1H20. Then H120. Reply to this message | Report message

>> However, I've never seen 1H used. I have, usually in the Finance sector. I have never seen H122. More usually one sees H1 22. H1 22 Q1 22 W1 Feb Are the ones I have seen and used all over the world. H122 would mean nothing to me, though I guess I'd work it out. And then correct it. Reply to this message | Report message

Here's the internal memo we got: "Many customers are also placing orders for 2022. Please communicate with your customers and get them to book their 2022 (or at the least 1H22) orders now." These things are written in every way imaginable and in the usual context the meaning of any of the formats is obvious. I hate forum posts with industry acronyms in them, so should have considered the meaning might not be clear. Reply to this message | Report message

SR trains with route numbers on the front. They used them on the DC line from Watford to Euston/Broad St as well. IIRC the Euston train was B1 and the Broad St service a few minutes ahead was B3. Reply to this message | Report message

This is, loosely, a motoring forum. So is it possible that any train related posts or threads could, for the purposes of this site at least, be substituted with some sort of train-post replacement post service. And be about cars instead. Or anything else really :p Reply to this message | Report message

....anyway, I'm now very confused. Have we come to the conclusion that the chips are delayed due to the wrong kind of snow, or a "defective junction box, New Malden"...... TIPLOC codes, anyone? Reply to this message | Report message

New Tue 23 Mar 21 21:36   Chips further delayed - Zero

If TIPLOCS are going to be of any use to me, I'd need the NESA, so the CRS(TIPLOC) is best - all I need there is the A to Z. Need the TOPS number of course so I know if its worth going out for. Last edited by: Zero on Tue 23 Mar 21 at 21:37 Reply to this message | Report message

Looks like several ships are now going the long way around, reports upto 100 ships affected. The Dutch company trying to free it, suggesting it could take several weeks. Reply to this message | Report message

Chips don't get moved around by sea, they go by air and typically make several flights during the manufacturing process. Air freight is a problem too at the moment with far fewer flights as often freight is carried on passenger flights. Reply to this message | Report message
