It means the customers aren't getting their products fast enough.

Nice theory. Great description of the past. But for it to be true at this time would mean that every CEO of every Chip Equipment company I follow has explicitly lied in their earnings conference calls. ... which would make them subject to litigation.

Or should we believe that you know more about customer delivery requests than the CEOs of the leading equipment companies.

Pardon me if I'll believe them this time.

Query about double booking.

I understand what happens and why it is a problem. But would not the companies that were subject to this problem have attempted to ameliorate this problem? An obvious solution would be to have a penalty for late cancellations, or increasing it. Does the industry use the same old standards with contract bookings that it used 2-3 years ago?
