Warehouse/Operations
»»Avnet inventories over $150 million dollars worth of value-add product and is capable of supporting an array of commercial
and military requirements.
»»Avnet uses a barcode intelligent inventory management system that allows for a paperless transfer of components to an ideal
stocking location.
»»Orders are released and scheduled through a computerized warehouse management system.
»»As orders are picked or kitted, a conveyor distribution system routes the product to either a consolidation area for value-add orders
or directly to a packing and shipping area for pre-built orders.
Engineering/Process Control
»»Avnet uses manufacturer-specific or Avnet-designed tooling and assembly processes, which are all approved and certified by
the original component manufacturers.
»»Every custom assembly or modification is built to customer specifications.
»»A dedicated production cell assembles first articles. Once a first article is approved, the system electronically stores the
manufacturing process along with detailed step-by-step assembly instructions for future use.
800-332-8638
»»Value-add orders are assigned bar-coded shop tickets. A shop ticket is a document that identifies every component needed
during assembly and also documents the process that must be followed when assembling the finished product.
»»Every shop ticket is assigned to a work cell that performs the actual value-add activity. Each cell has all of the tools needed to
assemble and modify product and is staffed by certified assembly technicians.
Quality Assurance
»»Avnet utilizes a “Web-X” electronic imaging system that generates a permanent record of each order. This record allows for full
traceability of all components and value-add products and ensures that quality assurance processes are applied to all orders.
»»All units are built to customer or manufacturer specifications and are tested using state-of-the-art equipment.
»»Avnet has also met best-in-class quality standards.
»»Employees receive extensive on-the-job training and routinely participate in certification programs.
