The Drive Is Done, We Have It And Will Strive To Keep It!
 Huot's continuous improvement programs date back to its early roots with Eugene Huot's involvement with the National Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME). As a long time member and supporter of the organization, the Huot family has been a leader in participating in SME seminars for improved manufacturing techniques, written SME papers and had family members hold office in the organization. William Huot was national president in 1974-75, and Peter Huot is past president of the St. Paul Chapter.
The company Is A Registered Firm Of
ISO 9001:2000 A6272 Requirements.
The company completely reorganized its factory to improve processes, product flow and noise reduction. Continually turning equipment inventory is a major part of the plan, replacing old machines with new to improve speed, quality and the working environment to improve its welding operations, for example, the company recently replaced all of its mechanical spot welders with electronic types.

 To further aid productivity, as many job contracts as practical are produced in cells. The results have been significant. The distance a product travels from beginning to completion has declined from several hundred feet and dozens of moves, to less than 20 feet and 3 moves. In addition, they have been able to maintain the production level of two years ago with 25 percent fewer workers.
As the Huot example attests, there are strengths and efficiencies offered by a job shop that manufactures and markets its own product line.
