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.
