Join your colleagues for this WERC event on February 9, 2004. We are proud to announce a tour of Avnet Inc.'s Logistics and Solutions Center in Chandler, AZ. The DC is 404,000 square feet of state-of-the-art space that has been in a continuous improvement mode since 1987 when the building opened. Avnet is proud of its "clean room" environment that features white walls and air conditioning and spotless concrete floors with a special coating to minimize electrostatic discharges.

One of the largest B2B distributors of electronic components and computer systems, Avnet handles 120,000+ SKUs of small, fragile parts and serves customers in 63 countries. It serves its customers with better than 99.9% accuracy, processing almost all orders in the same day with throughput of 9,000 daily line picks.

The facility uses bin shelving, pallet racks, carousels and H shelving, VNA equipment, 3 miles of conveyors, bar code scanners and an advanced WMS.

Avnet employs 300 people in the DC and another 100 working on programmable logic devices in a value-add production operation. Join us to hear and see how Avnet has made dramatic improvements in inventory management and visibility while reducing labor needs and increasing the value-added services it offers.
