A wakeup call for the global semiconductor supply chain

The serious disruptions in the global semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain following the tragic events in Japan triggered painful but productive discussions. Some of the discussions focused on the weaknesses in today's supply chain.
An example is found in Peter Clarke's EE Times article, "Supply chain: Too lean, too mean, too late."
Instead of discouraging us, the natural disasters should prompt us to raise questions such as: Is today's supply chain flexible, thick and adaptive enough to handle future disruptions should they come?
