Toshiba, in a bid to cut costs, is closing half of its six discreet chip-making plants in Japan and scaling back production in the remain facilities.

The three plants are scheduled to be closed in the first half of the fiscal year starting in April 2012, in a bid to slash costs, with Japanese makers at a disadvantage because of strength in the yen. "It's because demand is so weak," said analyst Yoshiharu Izumi at JP Morgan in Tokyo, adding that the announcement would likely be mildly negative for the company's stock.

Create a shortage, prices rise. Ain't manufacturing grand?

They have chip plants that make things judicious in one's conduct or speech, especially with regard to respecting privacy or maintaining silence about something of a delicate nature; prudent; circumspect?

Usually chips are discrete, consisting of or characterized by distinct or individual parts; discontinuous. ;)
