In this episode of Reliability Hero, host Andrew Daddo interviews Ed Welch, an adjunct instructor at the University of Kentucky and former engineering and maintenance manager at Toyota. Welch shares his journey from being laid off during the oil and gas crisis to his transformative career at Toyota. He discusses the cultural shift he experienced, moving from a ‘me first’ American mindset to Toyota’s team-first, consensus-driven Japanese approach. Key topics include the importance of continuous improvement, developing a ‘Kaizen eye’ for inefficiencies, the role of maintenance in modern industry, and fostering a cooperative work environment. Welsh’s insights highlight that maintenance is not just about machines, but also about people and culture.
CR158: Machine Shop Profit Starts with the Right Work — and Working Machines with Paul Van Metre ProShopERP
Machine Shop Profit Starts with the Right Work — and Working Machines with Paul Van Metre ProShopERP
In this episode, CMMSradio welcomes Paul Van Metre, co-founder of ProShop ERP, to talk about a recent regional workshop focused on helping machine shops win more profitable work — and keep it.
The conversation explores the critical balance between quoting strategies, choosing the right kind of work, and making data-driven decisions. Paul emphasizes that while technical skills are often strong in small-to-midsize shops, business systems — especially maintenance — are often lacking.
Many shop owners neglect preventative maintenance and calibration, prioritizing production over long-term health. But that short-term mindset leads to breakdowns, bottlenecks, and lost profit.
Paul shares how ProShop’s equipment module acts as a lightweight CMMS, helping shops schedule maintenance, issue work orders, and stay ahead of breakdowns — especially helpful for ISO-certified operations.
The message is clear: a little planning up front, including regular, simple maintenance routines, can unlock major gains in reliability, quality, and profitability.
