Each published ISCTJ article has a valid Crossref DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for global recognition and cross-references validation. Manuscripts accepted for publication in ISCTJ must have clear implications for supply chain managers based on one or more of a variety of rigorous research methodologies. ISCTJ also accepts insightful meta-analyses of the SCM literature, conceptual/theoretical studies with clear implications for practice, comments on past articles, studies concerning the SCM field itself, and other such matters relevant to SCM for publication.</p> <p>International Supply Chain Technology Journal (ISCTJ) is a journal published by PWD Group from Texas, United States.</p> <p> </p> <p>Call for Paper: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j2M7SJmGqwxsqGUffS_34TXz2Uoy2OJm/view?usp=share_link">Latest</a></p> PWD Groups Inc. en-US International Supply Chain Technology Journal 2380-5730 https://isctj.com/index.php/isctj/article/view/336 <p>Semiconductor chips play a pivotal role in modern technology, with their significance heightened by the growing electric vehicle (EV) industry. As vital components powering electric powertrains, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and in-car infotainment, semiconductor chips have become the linchpin of the automotive industry's transformation. The escalating global demand for EVs has, however, triggered a semiconductor chip shortage, leading to systemic disruptions in the supply chain.</p> <p>This study adopts a comprehensive approach to understanding the repercussions of the chip shortage within the automotive sector. Our method involves examining news articles about the semiconductor shortage, which worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From this examination, a framework is created that explains the reasons for the shortage and its consequences. Through these analytical frameworks, the paper draws essential lessons and implications regarding the initiation, propagation, and enduring nature of systemic disruptions. The findings provide valuable insights into the complexities of supply chain dynamics, offering an in-depth understanding of how disruptions manifest and persist over time. As semiconductor shortages continue to affect various industries, including the automotive sector, these insights contribute to the ongoing discourse on the sustainable management of semiconductor chip supply chains. This paper aims to delve into the intricacies of the EV semiconductor chip sustainable supply chain, shedding light on the factors contributing to the chip shortage and exploring potential solutions for a resilient and sustainable future.</p> Jeshurun Biney Erick C.
