I’m a quality manager and seek to reinforce the value of our customer via a motto.
Does Fautor primoris mean customer first? Well, patron first.
I’m a fledgling student of Latin and do appreciate any tutelage.
Thank you in advance.

fautor can often be used in quite a techincal sense, not only for ‘patron’, as you say, but also ‘political supporter/ faction’, or simply ‘supporter’. i do not know the nature of your work, but if it follows the standard model of the exchange of money for goods and/or services, your ‘customer’ is most likely to be an emptor, lit. ‘one who buys’. primoris is ok to mean first (in importance, not, say, in time). primus is more common, however.
you could say ‘fac emptorem primum’ (make the customer the most important) or in pl. ‘fac emptores primos’; or more concisely ‘emptor primus est/sit’ ('(let) the customer is(/be) the most important). est/sit can be removed.
