Supply Chain Management

Is your supply chain as cutting-edge as your product?

So you have fine-tuned the technology and developed a brilliant product, but can you deliver a stable and sustainable supply to your customers?

In today’s competitive environment, price and technical superiority alone are not enough to differentiate your company in the marketplace. Sustainable growth and profitability are the result of delivering a differentiated, value-rich customer experience throughout the entire product lifecycle.

When you’ve got complex supply chain challenges, who do you turn to?

Supply chain solutions are much in demand, and there are a variety of organisations offering to help. From global consulting firms through to individual suppliers and even down to postal services - there’s no shortage of places to turn to. Each of these companies have their strengths and weaknesses.

You need to partner with an organisation that can cover the breadth and depth of the challenges you face within your supply chain, a partner who becomes an integral part of your supply chain, who can help you with legalities, compliance, financing your supply chain, tax, and more.

For over 100 years, Avnet has been there and done it – experience gained from our own global operations, and the thousands of customers we serve in EMEA and globally every day.

We know this stuff isn’t easy. If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that we’re living in an increasingly complex market. And each business has its own set of challenges.

That’s where we come in.

With our dedicated supply chain solution, MySupply.

Say, for example, you have 3 or 4 OEM manufacturing plants across Europe, with maybe a couple of facilities or contract manufacturers in Asia and America too. Add in HQ and design houses in different locations and you have a whole lot of complexity to contend with. An off-the-shelf solution isn’t going to cut it.

For a select number of customers, we offer a complete supply chain solution. We take time to get to know the businesses we work with and understand their challenges, bottlenecks and risks. Our supply chain architects get to the heart of your business, exploring your issues up and down the supply chain.

As one of the largest electronics distributors in the world, we have visibility across the global supply chain and strong relationships with major suppliers throughout the industry.

We have field engineers that specialise in the various technologies and applications you need, as well as on-the-ground local experts all over the globe, and access to experts within supplier organisations too.

When you work with us, you tap into a network of expertise

Your supply chain architect will pull upon these connections to get the right minds, with the right combination of experience and insight, to focus on solving your specific supply chain challenges.

We'll help you take proactive steps to make sure you can secure stock, reduce lead times into manufacturing sites, build regionalised buffer strategies, manage risk, and have long-term visibility across the supply chain - so you can always be ready to respond to change.

Many organisations have felt the pain of the past few years and we all know there’s a challenge ahead as demand continues to rise. The future is uncertain. But you’ll be better equipped to handle it with a more resilient supply chain.

Avnet Silica’s team of supply chain management experts brings you:

  • Extensive training and experience in Supply Chain strategy and management
  • Significant knowledge and operational capability in managing high-volume, complex customer supply chain programs
  • Industry-recognised expertise such as SCOR Pro-P and CPIM APICS
  • A consultative approach to help identify the goals, requirements and operational resources you need to meet your objectives

We architect and deliver robust, customised programs to address your specific needs, including material planning, inventory management, transportation, working capital optimisation and general service.
