Production of computer equipment from the effects of earthquakes in Japan will not suffer

Despite the enormity and the serious consequences of natural disasters in Japan, production of computer equipment should not be affected. This statement was made president of the Taiwan branch of Acer's Scott Lynn (Scott Lin). He noted that the company is now engaged in the production of PCs have a stock of spare parts for 2,5 - 3 months work, so little influence on the production of computers a natural disaster and its aftermath will not have. Nevertheless, some manufacturers have already faced with rising DRAM and on-screen panels, which was due to the fact that in an uncertain number of companies began to create an increased supply of spare parts. Therefore, in the short term may be a slight increase in value.

Acer has already faced the fact that there are problems with silicon wafers and conductive adhesive for panels, which were supplied from Japan. These materials now shows signs of exhaustion, but the situation is under control and the ability to purchase them in other places is preserved. Also, Scott Lin note that the earthquake in Taiwan in 1999 caused more damage to the industry and its impact on affected worldwide, but the repetition of such a situation almost impossible. Then Taiwan quickly recovered and, therefore, Japan quickly restore production that will return the price and production of components to the normal level. While it is noted that in some parts of the channels and OEM-manufacturers supply materials for only one month, the industry in general has components which are sufficient to work within 2,5-3 months without interruption.
