Channel Channel Podcast: Manufacturers’ Council Update with Rob Kirch
ECIA’s Manufacturers’ Council has been very active this quarter, adding new Council members, and making substantial progress on projects such as expansion of market share data collection, the industry-wide initiative to modernize the design registration process and much more. Rob Kirch, of Vishay is Chair of the Manufacturers’ Council and was recently ECIA CEO David Loftus’ guest on the Channel Channel podcast.
“Every one of our Council members has a very busy day job,” explained Kirch. “We are very fortunate to have this great group of people to bounce ideas around and develop best practices that benefit all our companies. I always prefer having a voice in the industry dialog, instead of being on the outside wondering how things could be better.”
To listen, please go to the ECIA website. Monthly Council calls are open to all ECIA Manufacturer members - please email us to receive access information.

July TPC Covid-19 Impact Report
As a follow up to their ongoing research on the impact to the electronics supply chain in China from the Coronavirus; TPC conducted a 5th special survey. The survey had roughly 7,200 respondents with +/- 85% located in China. Some key findings include:
- Only 23% of the respondents are seeing an incremental negative impact over the past 4 weeks
- 93% of the respondents see production down only 5% or less for C2Q due to the virus’ impact
- 7% are saying the production shortfall will never be fully made up vs. 1% in the May survey
- Regarding the shortfall, ~51% of these responses believe the virus will not be contained enough to make up the production deficit. this is the #1 reason now and a significant shift in what the supply chains are thinking will hamper the recovery.
