Hytrol Addresses How Lean Manufacturing Affects Customer Experience

Tony Sartin, Hytrol Customer Care Manager, recently discussed how lean manufacturing affects the customer experience. According to Sartin, lean manufacturing does not just add to the customer experience: it’s all about the customer experience. Those customers can be the people who buy the project, or they can be the next stakeholder in the process. Either way, meeting the needs and expectations for customers both internally and externally is at the core of lean. As internal teams create processes and solutions to pass onto the stakeholders, it sets the stage for the company to be able to provide the ultimate experience for customers. Lean manufacturing is the link between the two, and without adopting lean, businesses will probably fail.

“Lean Manufacturing completely changes the customer experience in two main ways: it allows our manufacturing to be efficient and allows us to produce top-quality products,” noted Sartin.

In true lean manufacturing, the process itself is analyzed at each step and only the essential components are kept–the rest is discarded as waste. This happens during innovation, design and development, testing, manufacturing, and implementation. It is not an easy process and every person has to buy into it, but it results in heightened awareness, communication and effort. It allows every person in the process to be a stakeholder and to present new ideas and solutions in order to create the most efficient solution possible.
