For those of you that believe the early bird gets the worm here is your first sneak peak of how to use our new pricing app. We are just days away from removing the current page and making the new and slightly improve page go live, you will notice major changes on this new page. Everything from where you view the pricing to how the lead times are laid out. We have tried to make this page as user friendly as possible. We have incorporated many of the functions that we use on our own internal pricing page. Also the pricing matrix has been redesigned for improved pricing performance.
If you have had a chance to watch the new video tutorial great if not, here are some helpful hints:
The first thing to keep in mind is that the numbers are all real time. So if you check the site one day and we have stock and the next day we don’t you can make a pretty fair guess that we sold those parts. This also includes pricing. Keep in mind you have to be logged on as a distributor for the pricing page.
Some hot keys to keep in mind: The ESC key – this clears everything. Basically it allows you to easily go from searching for a female/female and you hit that key (make your own fast noise here) the screen goes blank and you can start looking for the captive panel screw that you have always wanted.
Also the enter key, if you have half a part number, first half please. You can enter that and hit the enter button. By doing this you will be given all of the complete part numbers that include that basic part number. Please watch the new video tutorial for more complete information on how to use the new pricing page. Be sure to test out the new pricing app for your self on May 26.

We have got something brewing specifically for our beloved on line authorized distributors. We are proud to annouce the up and coming launch of our new on-line pricing page. This is scheduled to go live to you on May 19, 2011. After months of research and gathering feed back from our on-line users we hope that you’ll love the new page as much as we do.
Our IT department has been working diligently to provide the best on-line pricing experience possible. This project has been in the works since the first of the year. We have gather insight from everyone that we could think of – if we missed you (sorry). Everything from Mr. Lynn’s vast knowledge of the industry to your thoughts on the subject of pricing has gone in to the revamping on this page.
Here at Lyn-Tron we realize that you have a choice when it comes to where you go to price you parts and even though our current pricing page gives our customers everything they need we feel that we can always give you more. To this end we have made a page that more closely resembles our own internal pricing program. It is our hope that our distributors will have a better user experience and thus making our website your first choice. You as a distributor will see exactly what we see as we see it. Everything from pricing, to part description has been formated in a way that allows us to work as a team.
In the coming weeks we are very excited to show you all of the tricks of the trade on how to use this upcoming pricing program relaunch.

Lyn-Tron would like to welcome our new CNC supervisor Steve Clark. Steve may be new to the position of CNC supervisor but has worked for Lyn-Tron for over a decade. Actually, Steve started working for Lyn-Tron while still attending collage at Eastern Washington University. He started as a part-time employee which was one of his requirements for his scholarship.
Even with the fluctuating schedule of a college student, Lyn-Tron was more than considerate with his availability. Once starting night classes he was able to start working full-time for Lyn-Tron, where Steve moved to the position of raw material handler. After working in the department for over a year, the CNC foreman at the time noticed he was studying advance statistics and thought that Steve could handle the work in the CNC.
Steve has spent 7 years in the CNC department moving his way from trainee to night-shift foreman to lead man on days finally to his new position as supervisor. Steve is very honoured to take on this new challenge, but tributes his success to the great team we have in the CNC department. Lyn-Tron would again like to congratulate Steve on all his hard work and his years of dedication. We know that Steve will keep up with the amazing quality of work we have come to appreciate.

Here at Lyn-Tron we pride ourselves on providing products of superior quality with unquestionable standards. So it is no wonder that we are delighted to become a member of the PMPA (Precision Machined Products Association). The PMPA is an international trade association representing the interests of the precision machined products industry. In order to become a member of this association, we at Lyn-Tron must adhere to the PMPA’s Code of Regulation and Membership Guidelines. This has allowed us to be seen as manufacturer of quality products that is backed by this great international trade association. Being part of PMPA now allows us to have access to their mission to lead progressive members toward global competitiveness and sustainable success while effectively representing the precision machining industry.
Within this community we have had numerous opportunity that we would not normally be exposed to.

It enables us as company to stay current on topics and what is going on in our manufacturing industry as a collective group. The PMPA also enables our department supervisors to be part of an open forum with this whole community.

In an effort to give our customers exactly what they have asked for, we will be adding some of the most popular NAS parts to our already extensive catalog. These parts will be incorporated into Lyn-Tron’s standard part family. This will ensure that our customers can order an NAS part by that designation and it will be that designation through order placement, manufacturing and finally shipping; until it reaches our valued customers.
With this addition we have been developing a brand new, easier, user interface on our website. This will help the process of finding the exact NAS part our customers are looking for. Also with doing minor in-house software improvements and training our sales staff with some of the complexity that is the National Aerospace Standard. All of these additions have resulted in the most precise and the easiest process there can be. Thus allowing our customers to go through and find an NAS part. It will always be Lyn-Tron’s priority to provide a quality product but to also provide a quality service for our valued customer to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

Here at Lyn-Tron we have always been committed to bring our customers a quality product through the most precise processes of manufacturing. Over the years, the National Aerospace Standard has produced products that go through the most rigorous manufacturing process. This ensures a product like no other.
At Lyn-Tron we use the similar method of manufacturing when we make our catalog parts. Throughout the years we’ve created many custom parts to work in place of NAS style parts, but without the NAS part number designation. Without this designation we could never claim to be official manufactures of NAS style parts. To be continued….

I wanted to share my thoughts on a great article by author Roger Thompson. In this article the author interviews professors Gary Pisano and Willy Shih about how the United States can regain its competitive nature within the manufacturing industry. Throughout the entire article the professors have a firm beleif that the U.S. manufacturning can stage a comeback in spite of outsourcing. Pisano states that with over use of outsourcing can lead to “the general erosion of the economy”. Even though there is outsourcing the professors still believe that America’s economy is quite resilient, and that it is up to the executives to make their enterprises great over a longer peroid of time. It seems that the future of our economy is in the hands of the companies that will keep in mind the the “long-term implication of their descions for their compaines as well as for the countries in which they operate” (Shih). This makes me hopefull for our future because I beleieve that many companies have felt the recent decline of the economy and are making descions that will ensure that America will regain its strength it once had in all industries.

My main duty is to ease the production process here at Lyn-Tron. I’m not a machinist or a supervisor; I’m one of Lyn-Tron’s CAD (Computer-Aided Design) Specialists. I believe that our CAD Department is one of the most crucial parts of production. When you take a moment to see how many different departments our CAD drawings are used in, it is amazing. From sending a CAD print to a customer for approval on a custom part to using CAD drawings in each manufacturing department. Our CAD drawings are also a pivotal point throughout our inspection process to ensure a quality product. With all of these different aspects of production that rely on our CAD department it is essential that every CAD drawing go through its own rigours approval process.
When I began here at Lyn-Tron I spent the first six months in a rotation through all of the different manufacturing departments and the quality control department. Through this experience I was able to use the CAD drawings, that I one day would be designing, in a practical way. I learned from firsthand experience what should be included on a blueprint that would speed up production. I also found out what process our quality control department has to go through to approve a part. This has led me to understand exactly what is need from multiple aspects of production and how to make the most beneficial CAD drawing that I can. It truly makes me pleased to be able to help as many of my fellow coworkers in our company’s goal to supply our customers with a product of superior quality at a fair price with a constant attention to delivery, performance and total customer satisfaction.
