39:59In this episode of Manufacturing Transformed, Brannon McKinney, General Manager at Faircloth Machine Shop, shares the incredible evolution of a small repair shop into an AS9100-certified leader in aerospace manufacturing. When Brannon joined Faircloth 16 years ago, fresh out of community college, the shop had just eight employees and relied on conventional machines and a homemade ERP system. Today, with the help of ProShop ERP, they’ve streamlined operations, embraced innovation, and achieved certifications that transformed their business. Brannon discusses how ProShop became an essential part of their journey—simplifying scheduling, enhancing tool tracking, and making the AS9100 certification process seamless. You’ll hear how Faircloth leverages technology, fosters collaboration, and cultivates a team culture that drives success.

With family members in jail for drugs, great job options weren’t plentiful. But after getting a job at a machine shop, and eventually landing at Hibshman Screw Machine Products, Daniel has flourished, meeting his wife, buying a home, moving into management, and having a huge positive impact on Hibshman and his team. And Daniel clearly has a knack for leadership, sharing many principles and much wisdom by which he leads. ProShop has been an accelerator to their success in the past couple of years, which is usually the main topic of Manufacturing Transformed episodes, but this is a more fundamentally significant transformation which I am grateful that Daniel shares with us all. I hope this reaches people who are outside of manufacturing and who can see what positive impact a manufacturing career with a fantastic company can provide!

Building a Company with ProShop as the Foundation with Nick Preece from PMA Nick Preece has a deep passion for machining which he stumbled up on while watching YouTube videos of machining while he was an engineering student. After deciding to buy a machine to make parts as a hobby, he realized he needed to earn some revenue just to pay for his hobby. 6 years later, he has a thriving AS9100 certified precision machining company, Preece Machine & Assembly, doing high-end work for discerning clients in regulated industries. After a few years they decided they needed a better ERP system that integrated their QMS in a way that their prior ERP, Fulcrum, did not. Now having been on ProShop for 2 years, Nick describes it as the foundation of their entire business and the system they are building every aspect of their company on. About PMA: Established in 2018, Preece Machining and Assembly (PMA) is a precision CNC machining and milling shop.

1:04:2214. A One Man Machining Army with CJ Abraham from PPD CJ is a humble and extraordinarily capable guy. He can keep a CNC machine running literally 24/7 for 6 weeks straight without a minute of downtime. But he spins self deprecating jokes about not running a legitimate business. That’s one of the most endearing qualities about CJ. In this really interesting conversation CJ shares why he bought ProShop as a 1 person company, and how it helps keep him from hiring several people just to keep up with the high volume of work and data his company creates. His main customer calls him a One Man Machining Army, which seems like an apt description when you learn about the incredible business he runs today and the volume of parts his machines spit out on a daily basis. It’s a great lesson on how little details and systems can be stacked to produce extraordinary results! About PPD: We offer fully automated, 24/7 lights-out machining with the ability to finish "6-sided" milled components in a single operation from round bar. With automatic material handling, we maintain tolerances down to +/-.0002" (+/-.005mm) in a temperature-controlled environment. Our one-piece-flow process adapts to any quantity, from 10 to 10,000 pieces. Finishing includes deburring, tumbling, ultrasonic cleaning, and drying, with options for anodizing, nickel, cadmium, and gold plating. We conduct first-article and in-process inspections with advanced equipment. Through ProShop ERP, we ensure ISO9001 and AS9100 compliance, manage certifications, and track equipment calibration.

51:5413. You’re Never Too Small for an ERP with Tom Rougeux from RX Industries Tom is the owner of RX Industries, a precision machining company serving high-end markets from Hilton Head Island SC. In his previous job, he had been an implementer of SAP for more than 5 years, so he had the battle scars to prove that he knew what he did and didn’t want from the ERP system he’d use for the company he had just bought. After much research, he decided to invest in ProShop before the company was even open for business. And Tom firmly believes that it’s worth looking past the functionality of an ERP and whether or not those functions could be satisfactorily covered with spreadsheets at the earliest days of a company. He shares his thoughts about why a shop that wants to differentiate themselves needs to consider the right ERP in the early days. About RX Industries: RX Industries is the Palmetto State's first CNC shop powered by the ProShop ERP MES QMS system. We specialize in close tolerance, multi-axis CNC machining for the Space, Military and Aerospace industries. Our CNC equipment consists of new, DMG-Mori 5-axis mills and turn/mill lathes with 9-axes of machining capability. New Tsugami Swiss machining centers with 5 axis capabilities and we have invested in palletized automatic production and robotic loading/unloading for unattended machining. RX Industries has a 2020 Zeiss CMM for Quality Control, running Calypso software. We use Esprit CAM and SolidWorks CAD.

Building a Business Worthy of Passing to Your Children with Chad Vanderbeek from Hibshman Screw Machine Products Chad Vanderbeek knew that the company they were running was not one he would be happy to hand off to his children if they were to take over the business one day. Things were too chaotic, information was not readily enough accessible to make the best decisions, and he felt that the company systems needed to be rebuilt. Since choosing ProShop the company has made a significant transformation and it’s now a company that Chad would feel confident and proud to hand off to the next generation. From getting a nearly perfect score on an Industry 4.0 assessment, eliminating all their 3-ring QMS binders, to doubling the bottom line of the company, and feeling like their team has really stepped up ownership of the results of the company, everything has gotten better since implementing ProShop ERP.

1:13:1608. Tying Process & Culture Upgrades Together with Matthew Sawhill from IME 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. About IME: Innovative Manufacturing and Engineering is your ideal partner for CNC milling and CNC machining. Our advanced machining processes let us tackle projects of all scopes and sizes. IME specializes in high-volume production, fabricating large quantities of precision parts with exceptional quality and speed.
