Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, today announced that Lalit
Wadhwa, vice president, global supply chain operations, Avnet
Electronics Marketing, will be a featured speaker at the upcoming IQPC
2015 Chief Procurement Officer Exchange, October 18-20, 2015 at the PGA
National Resort and Spa, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. In his presentation,
“Getting the Most Out of Your Supply Chain Metrics,” Wadhwa will address
how procurement executives must learn how to better utilize metrics to
drive more competitive supply chain performance.
IQPC 2015 Chief Procurement Officer Exchange is an invitation-only event
catering to senior purchasing, sourcing, procurement and supply chain
executives responsible for providing strategic leadership and guidance
within their corporations.
“In an era of big data, the intelligence garnered by traditional methods
of modeling is frequently out-paced by an onslaught of real-time
information. Organizations are going to have to reconsider, and
potentially re-configure, the means by which they measure their
performance,” said Wadhwa. “My session will focus on the various ways in
which procurement professionals can maximize the impact of their supply
chains by determining which metrics matter most. A big part of
optimizing the impact of analytics is understanding its limitations. My
goal is to help attendees discover how the relationship between the
metrics makes them actionable.”
Key discussion points in the presentation will include:
-
Standardization of metrics across the enterprise
-
Utilizing SCOR metrics as a standard for performance management
-
Leveraging SCORmark to drive competitive advantage
Based in Phoenix, Wadhwa and his team assist Avnet customers to
seamlessly move their supply chain from one region of the world to
another, across multiple sites. He also ensures consistent supply chain
business processes for global customers across Avnet’s regions and
provides customers with a consistent experience regardless of location.
