Hardware Is Forever

When waste goes unchecked, value is lost, and opportunities slip away. In this first episode of our new series on Lean Manufacturing, Amtech CEO Jay Patel introduces the principles of Lean and how they drive efficiency, innovation, and customer satisfaction. We discuss the importance of identifying value from the customer’s perspective and share insights on the five core principles of Lean: identifying value, mapping the value stream, creating flow, establishing a pull system, and pursuing continuous improvement. Drawing from historical examples like Toyota and Ford and modern applications in companies like Apple, we explore how Lean transforms processes into value-creating systems. Join us as we discuss how eliminating waste and focusing on what matters most can lead to extraordinary results, no matter your industry. Featuring Jay Patel.
