A big factor in your success is tied to the management of your materials. Yet most companies don’t have the infrastructure, experience or people required to bring a product to market globally. Losing track of one or two seemingly small components could lead to big issues around meeting market demand and customer satisfaction.

You’ll reach your goals in a profitable manner by having the right mix of products in place where and when you need them.
We’ve made a science of supply chain solutions. Our proven method provides you:
- Global reach and scale to forecast and position materials on your behalf

Assessment and planning
Avnet’s supply chain services help you forecast and position materials around the globe so they’re ready when you need them. The first thing we do when we sit down with you is conduct a detailed review of your current operations, your financial performance and your results. If you’re just getting started, then we’ll identify your goals and objectives, identify the materials and operations resources in your organization and your timeline to launch.
Regardless of which of these best aligns with your company, we’ll build customized models to address your specific needs, including: material flow, lead time, freight lines, reducing cash-to-cycle, components selection, design and manufacturing. We’ll integrate a number of proven services to create your plan and validate how we’ll put it into practice.
