A manufacturer of echo effects for music recording studios has built a prototype of an echo device that sounds exactly like a beloved echo machine from the 1970s. Even though its computer chips are cheap, they are hard to find because the compounds originally used to make the chips are no longer being manufactured.

What type of issue does the effects manufacturer need to overcome in order to be able to mass produce this echo device?

availability
cost effectiveness
safety
time effectiveness

The manufacturer faces a supply/availability issue: the required chip materials are no longer produced, making sourcing components difficult despite low cost.
