Cisco says computer chip shortage to last six months
The biggest problem is everything is JIT so all supply chains using JIT (like all of them) get disrupted with as little as 10% variance from the media flow rates.  The only real answer is to relax the reasons why we have JIT: taxes on inventory which prevent accumulating safety stock inventory.  Having larger safety stock would very quickly end this supply chain disruption and solve the chip shortage in few months rather than 6-24 months.
