Supply Chain Management

We believe that every link in our supply chain represents an opportunity to implement progressive innovative processes. These processes enable us to provide maximum value to our customers. Our supply chain organization was developed with this belief and has been refined, through years of experience, into a successful, centralized, and fully integrated model. Our mission is to provide business partners with best in class procurement, prefabrication, logistics, and asset and information management services, that are strategically focused to create business value and promote operational success.

Establishing a fully integrated supply chain has been imperative to State Electric’s ability to evolve into a best in class, full-service electrical contracting company. Now that this vision has become a reality, we realize that the future of State Electric will continue to be influenced by the evolution of its supply chain integration. In response, we continue to manage the growth of our supply chain by maintaining a focus on the development of strong horizontal processes, that enable true cross-functional planning and the balancing of departmental objectives with corporate strategies. Through solid planning, detailed coordination, and clear communication, the supply chain organization has been able to provide incredible value to our customers. We continue to improve through perpetual monitoring, evaluation, and advancement in supply chain activities, processes, and relationships.  

We’re able to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage by seeking, establishing, and maintaining relationships with vendors who share our commitment to quality and success—while providing the best value, at the lowest total cost, with minimal supply chain risks. Our internal and external customers greatly benefit from our ability to understand and effectively respond to their project needs. This ability enables project teams to avoid delays, eliminate cost overruns, exceed quality standards, and ultimately deliver successful projects.

State Electric maximizes our efforts throughout the supply chain in order to better serve our operations, maintain a competitive advantage, and enhance the value contribution to all of our clients.  In the execution of our efforts, we specifically target the following areas to ensure success:

• Engage in collaborative strategic sourcing
• Focus on total cost of ownership
• Establish key supplier alliances
• Promote supplier diversity
• Optimize company-owned inventory levels
• Maintain appropriate levels of control and minimize risk
• Take green initiatives and social responsibility seriously
