Tying Process & Culture Upgrades Together with Matthew Sawhill from IME

Welcome to episode 8 of the Manufacturing Transformed Podcast, hosted by Paul Van Metre
Innovative Manufacturing & Engineering was a precision machine shop specializing in quick turn, low volume job shop work, doing lots of repair work and reverse engineering for local customers. While that business model worked, they often found themselves with their valuable machines and resources sitting idle. They decided to focus on automation and unattended machining processes and capture higher-volume production machining work to maximize their revenue and machine throughput. As they started making that change, they realized that the old E2 ERP system they had been using was not up for the challenge. From the waste of the paper-based processes to a schedule that didn’t work, they decided they really needed a change to their business operating system. After finding and deciding on ProShop ERP, they were up and running in 3-4 months and haven’t looked back since. They’ve seen dramatic improvements in on-time delivery, scrap reduction, throughput increases, setup-time reduction, and much more. Importantly, they’ve focused on the cultural shifts necessary to get real buy-in and alignment with their production team to focus on process improvements, and eliminating variables so they can successfully optimize their unattended time and get maximum throughput on their equipment. Matt shares very candidly, the important things they’ve focused on to transform the business in this way, and how ProShop has been foundational in that effort.
