2) Prioritize chips - Understand the commercial and strategic value of each of the finished goods (what is the profit margin, how important is the customer, etc)

3) Work with suppliers to focus only on prioritized chips

4) Work with engineering teams to understand whether chips which were unaffected by chip shortage could be substituted in
