Sketch the supply chain for the sensor button. Submit as Word or pdf file. Note: You can choose the graphic format to chart the supply chain. It can be a block diagram, placed on a world map, or drawn in any creative way you choose. The goal is to communicate the global nature of the supply chain, various possible choke points, delays, and complexity of the chain. I will grade this assignment on a relative scale, with the best representation getting 10 points, and other sketches getting a lower grade. Note that in business communication complexity can detract from the presentation and lose value. What I am looking for is "impact". The sensor is no longer used in the iPhone, and while the document describes the production journey of a currently obsolete component, it was in production just a decade ago and represents the complexity of the global supply chain. Sketch the Apple iPhone Home Button Supply Chain "The home button journey begins in Hunan Province, China, at a company called Lens technology Ltd, in the city of Changsha, where super-hard transparent artificial sapphire crystal is fashioned into the button cover. This is the path of the button an iPhone user physically touches, made of the same synthetic sapphire used in high-end watches, avionics displays, and missile systems because of its near diamond like hardiness, durability, and scratch resistance. The sapphire cover is then bonded to a metal trim ring brought 550 miles from the LY technology factory in Jiangsu province, and then shipped 1000 miles to the Dutch owned NDC semiconductor assembly and testing plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. There the sapphire metal ring combo is married to a driver chip imported from a Shanghai factory (another 600 miles) and a touch sensor chip from an NXP silicon-wafer fabrication plant in Europe, which tacks 5000 more miles on to the itinerary. Next, a button switch imported from a Panasonic subsidiary is brought in 1500 miles from Iapan, along with the springlike plastic component called the "stiffener" from a Shanghai factory (another 600+ miles) owned by the American company Molex. These pieces are combined at another Taiwanese manufacturer, Mestek, which adds in its own part, called the flex circuit. Melkek, then ships this assembly 1500 miles back to lapan, where a plant run by technology giant Sharp laser welds all the pieces into a sealed and functional touch 10 module. The completed assembly ships about 1300 miles to the Eexcoaplant in Zhengzhou, China, a virtual high-tech city of 128,439 factory workers that the iPhone's fine assembly takes place. The finished iPhones are shipped by air-freight often through an Alaska hub (on the great are shortest path from Asia to the US). " From: Door to Door, Edward Humes, Harper Pub, 2016. Pp. 23-24
