There is amazing value to be had from many of these shop tour videos you so kindly share. To learn from others knowledge aswell as past mistakes on which they have adapted and learnt from is what adds wealth to information. Brilliant content and another enjoyable shop tour.

This video gave invaluable insight into a highly systematic approach to the necessity of being organized on all levels of operation. Managing the workflow from beginning to end. With what usually is a focus on what it takes to produce a quality part or product, this video shined in raising consciousness on the necessity of methodical process planning every step of the way!

I am involved in moving our shop this year. Massive task. This tour is helpful in giving me insight to fresh ideas. Nice safety glasses on Art. We would get fired on the spot for wearing our glasses on our hat like that. With all of the efforts that the company puts into building processes and Art is exposing the company to an insurance claim.

Enterprise Resource Planning. It basically takes all the sources of your operation and consolidates it into one software suite. We're in the process of implementing one at my shop now. Before we were using different pieces of software for different things (one for accounting, another for CRM, another for purchasing, etc.) Once the ERP is up everything will be done within the same system.

I'm surprised I had to scroll so far down to find this comment. Honestly it's a beautiful shop from an owner/investor's perspective, but holy shit from a machinist's perspective I would never want to work there. It's obvious they hire college kids and button pushers to do 90% of the work. Extreme micro managing and focus on efficiency leave very little room for growth as a machinist, simply wage slaves working for the management's bottom dollar. Closest thing in America to a sweat shop I've ever seen.

As a machinist myself I see nothing wrong with this shop as long as you are realistic about what kind of shop this is. These guys are doing contract manufacturing, it’s a production line. It’s not a one off high skilled machinist type job. You have to be able to separate the machinist from the operator both are an important job but are used for very different reasons. Notice all the tools are supplied and put where they need to be. This isn’t the kind of place where you or I are going to roll in our own toolboxes and tools. Also I have no problem with the motivation quotes either. Mass production is a highly repetitive boring job at times and sometimes you need that to give yourself a bit of encouragement. It’s not the employers fault, Mass production is boring it is just the nature of the beast.

@@weldmachine many many many people like to do just that. Go to work do their job and go home. When you talk to them and get to know them their priorities are in other things. They live for other interests and hobbies. The job is just for paying the bills. We have a saying down here in New Zealand, working for the weekend. I have ambitions and goals but some people couldn’t care less about being rich and hugely successful. It’s like people who like hunting and fishing or hiking, or any hobby type thing that is what they live for, not the job. You only get one shot at life, focus on what brings you the most happiness is the way I think.

@@ElectricGears Nope. You can go into almost every trade shop in the country and no one is wearing masks. Construction, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, machinists, etc, don't do that. Has nothing to do with vaccinations. I don't require any of my guys to wear masks. I don't see ANY masks in the industry. I do stay out of the list states though. Come to the free states. Everything has been "back to normal" for the past year. Only people wearing masks are people who are at risk if they get sick. The tiny fraction of the population that could encounter serious complications or death. There is no such thing as vaccines making things get back to normal. First it was "when the majority of the population is vaccinated." Then they realized that vaccines don't stop the virus and the virus mutates. If NYC's, Detroit's, and Chicago's new CoV laws are any indication, it's not going "back to normal." They just refuse to reclassify it from pandemic to endemic. Gotta get that money.

Being in tech for 13 years (Devops) and now currently in college for machining and CNC, all of this is oh so familiar. I'm glad to see there is room for my skillset in the industry. Many machinists online are overall negative about the state of the industry in North America but I hope it's a lack of progression and development. If 3rd gen machining was in Canada, you'd see my resume! Best of luck guys. Remember, don't forget the meaning of agile and say flexible.

28:47 I know they are running out of room, but I'm pretty sure you need access to electrical panels and also depending on the voltage you need to be a safe distance from electrical panels for their arc flash zone, not sure what osha would say if they came by.
