A Leader in Specialized Value-Add Services
Avnet Electronics Marketing has one of the broadest offerings of physical value-add services in the
industry, specializing in services that provide cost and time-to-market advantages so that electronic
original equipment manufacturers (EOEMs) can concentrate solely on the aspects of business that
provide the most return. Add a well-deserved reputation for customer service, and it’s easy to see
why Avnet adds value to hundreds of customers each day.
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
through the Avnet Logistics Solution Center (LSC), which is an ISO-9001-2000 certified facility located in Grapevine, Texas.
>> 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
corresponding manufacturer.
>> Every custom assembly or modification is built to customer specifications.
>> The Avnet LSC has a dedicated production cell that 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.
>> 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.
800 735 5426
>> Every shop ticket is assigned to a work cell that performs the actual value-add activity. Each cell is staffed by certified assembly technicians and has
all of the tools needed to assemble components.
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.
www.em.avnet.com/services
>> A 100 percent electrical test is performed on each assembly whenever possible. Also, when needed, special test boards with mating components
are manufactured on-site to test custom or modified assemblies.
>> Avnet has also met best-in-class quality standards – ISO-9001-2000 approved; UL and CSA certified; IPC-A-620/WHMA-A-620, BSI, J-STd-001 certified.
>> Employees receive extensive on-the-job training and routinely participate in certification programs.
