Low-Mix, High-Volume: Our Big Shift — and What It’s Teaching Me

Too many part numbers. Too many changeovers. Too much chaos. For years, we ran a low-volume, high-mix job shop — and it was eating us alive. Until we flipped the model.

In this episode, I break down our full-on shift to high-volume, low-mix production: what pushed us over the edge, how we pulled it off, and what every shop owner needs to hear if you’re tired of running in circles. I’m talking about the pain of quoting chaos, the burnout from nonstop setups, and what we gained when we finally focused on the right kind of work.

If your machines are quiet because you’re buried in prep, not production — this one’s for you.
