Fabricated metal
Operations systems for fabricated metal shops in Middle Tennessee
For owner-run fabrication and weld shops with 20 to 499 employees. We find the cell that sets your pace, put a dollar figure on it, and build a daily system on the tools you already own.
What we often hear
Common problems in this industry.
- Costing fab and weld work is hard. The real cost of a job shows up after it ships.
- One cell, often welding or fit-up, sets the pace for the whole shop.
- Bid hours and actual hours drift apart, and the gap shows up at month-end.
Signs it may be time: a customer asks for data you can't easily produce, including CMMC requirements for defense suppliers; a labor squeeze; or a recent costly surprise.
The three steps
What the three steps look like here.
Step 1: Walk the floor
We follow a job from cut to ship and find the cell where work waits.
Step 2: Build it on your tools
We connect your bids, schedule and time clock, so bid and actual hours sit side by side.
Step 3: Run the cadence
Your team reviews the pacing cell and yesterday's jobs in a short daily huddle.
