INTEL

Dear Mr. Alfredo Arce:

I wrote this letter to express my congratulations because of your exposition about the Supply Chain. Specifically about what has INTEL done in the last years. First of all, I found it very interesting that there are only 4 companies that do the assembly job, 3 in Asia and the other Costa Rica. Also how does this chain works with the demand, supply and product.

Moreover, it was really remarkable that the 4 companies even though they are from INTEL, they try to compete with each other so the level of efficiency rises. And last but not least important to know that INTEL’s Supply Chain is in the top 30 of the world, competing with companies like Apple, P&G, and others, and what makes it incredible is that none of us buy something from them, because they make microchips that are inside computers, telephones, etc.

Greetings,

Alonso Álvarez Thuel.
