We have to relax short term and look for measures long term.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>His comments come after a sudden upsurge in global car sales late last year coincided with a shortfall of essential chip components. The supply shortages brought assembly lines of the chip-reliant car industry to a standstill and halted the production of hundreds of thousands of vehicles worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Demand for these chips, or semiconductors, has soared during the coronavirus pandemic as consumers snapped up games consoles, laptops and TVs during a period of reduced mobility.<\/p>\n<p>Now, many of these products \u2014 including certain Chromebook laptops and next-generation consoles like the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 \u2014 are either sold out or subject to lengthy shipping times.<\/p>\n<h2>Supply chains<\/h2>\n<p>The chip shortages have hit the automotive sector especially hard, analysts say, because of the industry&#x27;s &quot;just-in-time&quot; supply chain, which the car industry has relied upon for decades in a bid to preserve capital.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether Porsche could be forced to reconsider this supply chain model, Blume replied: &quot;Yes. That is very important for the future to think about the supply chain.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We have to think about what storage do we need really for all these stocks. We have to be more flexible and we have to plan more deeply the immediate capacities.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Shares of Porsche, listed on Germany&#x27;s Xetra Dax index, are up 15% year-to-date. The stock price is little changed over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 CNBC&#x27;s Sam Shead contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/02\/22\/porsche-ceo-warns-of-very-serious-global-chip-shortage.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&quot;The semiconductor topic is a very serious<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":113778,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Porsche CEO warns &#x27;very serious&#x27;
