The passage explains that disruptions in the global semiconductor supply chain, caused by factors such as geopolitics, extreme weather, and pandemics, have made access to components increasingly unreliable. To reduce dependence on complex external hardware and software supply chains, many large systems organizations are bringing semiconductor design and embedded development in-house. While this strategy can improve control and resilience, it also introduces significant complexity and risk. The executive summary highlights that adopting an IP-centric design approach helps organizations better manage in-house development by improving visibility, reuse, and governance of intellectual property, reducing inefficiencies, and strengthening their ability to respond to supply chain uncertainty.
