Innovative and Agile Supply Chain Solutions – are you our next college?

Avnet has years of proven experience operating and managing global inbound and outbound supply chain programs. We currently support many Tier 1 OEM, EMS, ODM’s, and suppliers successfully, in compliance with stringent requirements and service level expectations. In support of increasingly complex, global, and large-scale supply chain programs Avnet Velocity (Avnet Global Supply Chain Services?) architected a comprehensive Sales and Operations (S&OP) process. The process was implemented some years ago and has been iterated and executed seamlessly ever since.

Since 2020 we are supporting a global supply chain program for a major European OEM, who trusted Avnet to become an incorporated and strategic part of increasing their supply chain resiliency and sustainability throughout their global network. With our capabilities to deliver highly integrated logistics solutions, and our capabilities to withstand volatility both within the supply chain network as well as the broader macro environment, the OEM chose Avnet due to our innovative, agile and customer focused supply chain solutions.

Our team and organization in support of this program are all seasoned supply chain professionals, this to ensure we maintain our regional service requirements and cultivate in-region customer and supplier relationships. To enhance the customer experience, we constantly review the program and our cooperation with the OEM and it’s EMS partners to ensure we meet the customer requirement and criteria effectively. By providing local support in local language, and scaling regional success stories globally, we have managed to identify additional areas where Avnet can add value to our customer by leveraging our extensive ecosystem and subject matter experts.

We are looking for an experienced supply chain professional to join our emerging global team.
