1.Most valuable element of the supply chain.

Inventory Turnover

Reasons:

From the radar and revenue breakdown charts, Broadcom Inc. demonstrated the highest inventory turnover, indicating efficient stock movement and minimal holding costs.
This makes inventory turnover a critical value driver for maintaining cash flow and operational responsiveness in the semiconductor industry.

2.Who has the highest labor productivity

Company	Revenue (in Billion USD)	Employees	Market Power (P/R Ratio)	Labor Productivity (M USD/Employee)
Intel Corporation	63.05	131900	4.21	0.478014
Broadcom Inc.	35.82	20000	1.23	1.791
ON Semiconductor	8.32	33000	1.47	0.252121
QUALCOMM Inc.	42.96	51000	2.24	0.842353

Labour Productivity is highest for Broadcom Inc, with $1.79M per employee

3.Who has the market power?

Intel Corporation has the highest market power with (Payable/Receivable Days Ratio): 4.21

15/17

Conclusion:

This report analyzed Intel’s supply chain and financial performance using GCPS tools and compared it with Broadcom, Qualcomm, and ON Semiconductor. Key areas studied included asset structure, profit margins, inventory turnover, and overall efficiency.

Intel showed strong market power by taking longer to pay suppliers than it takes to collect from customers. However, it performed poorly in labor productivity, return on assets, and inventory management compared to its peers. Broadcom stood out with high profitability, strong efficiency, and the best use of its workforce. ON Semiconductor also showed a balanced and efficient operation.

Overall, Intel remains a major player in the semiconductor industry, but there is room to improve its efficiency and profitability. Focusing on better cost control, employee productivity, and faster inventory movement can help Intel stay competitive in the future.
