The ability to be agile in manufacturing is necessary in high-mix, low-volume environments. In this episode, Jay Patel, CEO of Amtech, returns to explain what agility really means on the shop floor and at the leadership level. He shares how Amtech equips its team, processes, and tech stack to pivot quickly, handle constant change, and maintain quality across shifting product lines.

We talk about the realities of modern manufacturing, from AI-enabled equipment to cross-training strategies that build resilient teams. Jay also offers candid insight on whether HMLV is the right fit for every organization (Jay suggests you consider your life choices) and why adaptability, curiosity, and a willingness to rethink everything are now essential skills.

If your shop is evolving (spoiler alert, it is whether you're steering it or not) or needs to, this episode gives you the context to do it with increased agility. Featuring Jay Patel
