A comment on Chip shortage: Toyota to cut global production by 40%. Parent comment
If staffing costs are 5% of of marginal costs, then making them 10% is fine if your residual income/profit is high enough.
I suspect you put a fab in Asia because you get higher profitability, not necessarily because you wouldn’t make a profit at all in the US.
Can anyone comment on what percentage of costs for say TSMC go on staffing?
