The Oakville Ford plant was temporarily shut down due to a shortage of computer chips

Update time : 2022-05-11 16:00:33

A growing number of manufacturers worldwide are having trouble ensuring a semiconductor supply, delaying the production and delivery of goods, and threatening to push prices up.The affected industries are an ages of about 20 percent, and some of the components used to make chips are in short supply until at least this fall.The Ford assembly plant in Oakville once again experienced some lockdowns due to semiconductor shortages.A continuing global shortage of semiconductor chips has stopped working at local car production facilities this week.

The Oakville facility, which makes the Ford Edge and Lincoln Nautilus, isn’t the only Ford plant in North America that has had to temporarily close shop this week. Ford Motor Co. announced that its Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky, which builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair, is also down this week.
“The global semiconductor shortage continues to affect Ford’s North American plants — along with automakers and other industries around the world,” Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker said in a statement. “Behind the scenes, we have teams working on how to maximize production, with a continued commitment to building every high-demand vehicle for our customers with the quality they expect.”
Meanwhile, Intel is in talks with companies that design chips for automakers to make those chips in its factories. If successful, Intel could start producing the chips within six to nine months, the Intel CEO said. At that time, the shortage of automotive chips will be eased to some extent.
