hardware and semiconductor chips (Careers 2020), it does not produce wafers which is an
essential component of designing semiconductor chips. It is outsourced to other
manufacturing plants referred to as foundry.
The speciality of these chips are that they are five times smaller and cheaper, range is 10
times higher and power requirements are 200 times lower. These chips are mainly considered
for internet of things or IoT applications.
It was founded in 2016 by previous Wi-Fi engineers from Broadcom and privately held with
its headquarter in Sydney, New South Wales (Careers 2020). As of now it has 50 employees

applications in IoT industry.
One of the main issue of this company is lack of transparency in its supply chain and it is

demand (Jamal 2017). Therefore, orders are not being delivered in time, items for
manufacturing are not being stored timely in warehouse, orders are being lost, and reputation
of company is also being affected and all of these resulting in loss of revenue. Therefore, in
