Hyster enjoys a unique relationship with all our customers. We try to create complete client satisfaction created through world class manufacturing. Our goal is to foresee the requirements of all our clients in addition to deal with them with forklifts that provide the value, the performance and the dependability that they need.
Hyster completely believes in starting with the customer. The company performs yearly focus groups and offers on-going voice of customer research which is conducted both on-line as well as in the field. We have over 400 design engineers to translate that input into intelligent designs by applying our thorough review gate process. Virtual prototype builds and advanced tools help make certain that the best machine practices come together. Other advanced tools like dynamic modeling and virtual prototype builds help to shorten our product development cycle. We enjoy giving our clients a competitive edge.
All of our machinery are subjected to physical, environmental and virtual tests, so as to guarantee the lowest ownership cost and total reliability. Not only do we test against our own standards, but we are also continually testing against the competition's products. Our final tests take place in real-world customer applications in order to make sure that our products have met our highest standards.
Demand-Flow Manufacturing Which is Smart and Lean
Our world-class manufacturing at Hyster is driven by DFT or Demand Flow Technology. Each and every aspect of plant operation is driven by DFT lean manufacturing principals toward a single goal: to provide total client satisfaction and flawless quality 100 percent of the time, every time.
Total Quality All The Time
To initiate excellence from the beginning, Hyster utilizes an integrated Manufacturing Execution System or MES. The job of the MES is to manage the flow of production. The MES coordinates line activities like for example quality verification and part sequencing. It also uses torque tools and quality gates to prevent less than perfect assemblies from continuing down the line. Hyster holds random audits during each shift. These audits really hold each worker responsible for constant quality, along with the 5s workplace organization in place to help us attain it.
Hyster provides a range of excellent features as standard with our products. By remaining committed to our focus on safety and quality, and by being innovative from start to finish, we deliver several of the best material handling machines on the market. These are only a few of the reasons why the company has become a leader within the business.
