Michael Dell, chief executive officer of Dell Technologies, said just-in-time manufacturing could cushion the impact on the company even if the artificial intelligence boom fades. He added that memory supply shortages are set to worsen.
Walter Bloomberg reported on October 16 that Dell said in an interview the just-in-time model can serve as a buffer if growth in the AI industry slows sharply.
