28. Why "Good Enough" Systems Are Quietly Killing Your Shop’s Growth
Description
Shop owners are so deep in the daily grind that they don’t see how outdated systems are quietly setting limits on their business. When processes feel "good enough," it’s easy to miss how much time, money, and opportunity are leaking out of a business every day.
Ben Dunn didn’t come from machining, he came from hospital administration. And that fresh perspective made it impossible for him to ignore the old habits inside the shop he acquired. Walking into a company still running on a DOS-based computer and stacks of paper, he saw what longtime owners sometimes can’t: without a clear schedule, accurate data, and systems that live beyond a single person’s memory, the business had no path to real growth or long-term survival.
Once Blueprint Advanced Manufacturing embraced modern systems, everything changed; on-time delivery skyrocketed, employee roles became clear, and the company became far more resilient. Owners will start to see that fixing what feels "good enough" isn’t just a tech upgrade, it’s the difference between a company that struggles and one that thrives across generations.
