About DeKING Precision
Their story
DeKING Precision, Inc. is a manufacturing supplier of custom, made-to-print, precision-machined products. With over 60 years in the industry, DeKING has a decades-long track record of delivering quality machined products on time. DeKING, run by CEO David DeVandry, was a low-mix, high-volume shop, but once they invested in swiss-type machining, their process became more high-mixed than what their current processes could withstand.
“Anything that was related to that job would go into a folder; we would lose them quite often. And I think, honestly, on the low end, we'd probably be looking at five hours a week lost looking for job folders.”
Their challenge
When David came to DeKING, their shop was managed by paper job folders. Traceability was extremely manual, and folders were often lost weekly, costing the crew hours better spent producing to look for their job documents. This wasn't a critical issue until their production became a higher mix. They needed more hands to maintain systems, leading to errors and lost information.
Their solution
Now, every document they need is easily sourced by a click of a button, anywhere on the shop floor or front office, thanks to JobBOSS². Plus, with barcode and QR capabilities, job travelers are now used shop-wide to give employees quick access to part details, production routing, quality checks, and any other information needed to ensure everything is being done to spec.
“With JobBOSS2, we're able to handle 300 open jobs with fewer people than we did before, when we were at 40 open jobs.”
