How PrecisionMech Transformed Their
manufacturing Operations
The Challenge
PrecisionMech faced rising material costs and was unable to accurately track waste or calculate the true cost of custom production runs. Their paper-based travel cards made it impossible to see real-time production status.
The Solution
MyBusiness introduced digital production orders with multi-level BOMs. Operators now use shop-floor tablets to log time and material usage in real-time.
The Result
Material waste was reduced by 15% through better tracking. PrecisionMech can now quote new jobs with 95% accuracy on margins, and production bottlenecks are identified and resolved instantly.
In Depth
PrecisionMech is a leader in high-precision automotive components, but their growth was limited by outdated, paper-based processes. Rising material costs and a lack of real-time production data made it difficult to control waste or accurately quote new jobs. The team knew they needed a digital overhaul to stay competitive.
With MyBusiness, PrecisionMech digitized their entire shop floor:
- Digital Travel Cards: Every workstation now uses iPads to track production progress, replacing error-prone paper cards.
- Smart BOMs: Engineering changes are instantly reflected in production, reducing costly mistakes.
- Time Tracking: Labor hours are logged in real-time, giving management a clear view of true job costs.
Material waste dropped by 15% in the first quarter, and quoting accuracy for new jobs improved to over 90%. Bottlenecks are now identified and resolved quickly, and the team can focus on continuous improvement rather than paperwork. The digital transformation has empowered PrecisionMech to deliver on their promise of quality and efficiency, every time.
