The Crisis in Manufacturing Will Begin in Late 1999, Says Expert garynorth.com The Crisis in Manufacturing Will Begin in Late 1999, Says Expert Link: 2k-times.com 'Comment: This summary is quite useful. It appears on a page devoted entirely to the embedded chip problem -- also quite useful. This report is written by a man in Britain who helps large firms solve their noncompliant embedded chip problem. He points to the widespread use of chips in manufacturing. These chips are everywhere. Worse: they are embedded in old systems. These systems are crucial for existing production. So, they don't get upgraded often. As he says: "The pressure to keep the production process running is great. As a result, production managers resist changes to embedded systems on the if it ain't broke, don't fix it basis. This means that when the next version of the operating system comes along, it is not automatically installed. If improved functionality could be achieved by upgrading bespoke software, it is not acted upon. Hardware which is no longer supported by the manufacturer remains in use. The result is a bunch of ageing systems, based on languages, packages and processors for which the skills are gradually being lost." Now these systems must all be checked for defects and upgraded. Not many firms are ready to do this. Hence, this is a big problem, and time is running out. '
