In addition to his purchasing role, Rhandi leads K/E Electric’s purchasing team, manages
both inventory and financial
assets of the company, sits on
the credit committee and on an
ongoing steering committee—
and still finds time to help people
in other departments.
Among his notable contribu-
tions to K/E, Rhandi served as
an advisor for one of the most
complex software upgrades and
was entrusted with one of the
largest single investments in the
company’s history: upgrading
the wire-handling facility.
“‘Well-thought-out’ would be
an understatement. Rhandi made
the new wire area into a living,
breathing space,” said his nomination form. “He is undeniably
one of the most hands-on and
company-minded individuals, not
just at K/E, but also in the industry as a whole.”
