Workers at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant in Lafayette are back on the job this week, following a two-week furlough, stemming from a global shortage of semiconductors.
The company suspended production last month because of an interruption in the supply of certain parts that rely on microchips, a problem the entire auto industry is facing.
SIA says semitrailers full of parts arrive at the plant about every 24 minutes, and many of those parts rely on microchips.
