Our Mission
At Patterson, our mission is to provide exceptional tool and die, machining, and engineering solutions while maintaining a strong commitment to continuous improvement. We strive to optimize our operations through the principles of 6S, value stream mapping, ongoing employee training and development, and the effective utilization of key performance indicators (KPIs).
Quality Commitment
We are dedicated to a culture of continuous improvement, fostering innovation, and embracing change. By consistently challenging ourselves to find better ways of doing things, we ensure that our customers receive the highest quality products and services. We invest in ongoing training, stay updated with industry advancements, and encourage the exchange of ideas among our team members, all in pursuit of excellence.
We adopt the principles of 6S in every aspect of our operations. Through Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, and Safety, we create a clean, organized, and efficient work environment that promotes productivity and minimizes waste. By eliminating unnecessary steps and optimizing workflows, we enhance the overall efficiency and quality of our processes, ultimately benefiting our customers.
We employ value stream mapping techniques to identify and streamline the flow of materials, information, and activities throughout our organization. By mapping out the entire value stream, from customer requirements to product delivery, we eliminate non-value-added steps, reduce lead times, and enhance overall operational efficiency. This enables us to deliver products and services that precisely meet our customers’ needs, while minimizing waste and maximizing value.
We leverage key performance indicators to measure our performance and track progress towards our goals. By defining clear KPIs, we ensure transparency, accountability, and continuous monitoring of our operations. These metrics enable us to make data-driven decisions, identify areas for improvement, and maintain a focus on delivering exceptional value to our customers. We regularly review and analyze our KPIs to drive meaningful changes that align with our commitment to excellence.
