Case Study: Bryco Machine achieves doubled sales and boosted profitability with JobBOSS

Bryco Machine - Customer Case Study

Bryco Machine, a Chicago-area precision turning shop, faced mounting competition, collapsing margins and new quoting/costing challenges as it shifted into larger, more complex parts. To support a major reinvestment in equipment and processes, Bryco expanded its shop management system and installed PCs running JobBOSS Data Collection to gain real‑time visibility into capacity, costs and scheduling.

Using JobBOSS data alongside a company‑wide lean program and shop‑floor redesign, Bryco optimized quoting, reduced changeovers and made smarter run‑size decisions (e.g., using JobBOSS to pick the most profitable quantity to produce). The results were dramatic: sales roughly doubled (from $3.4M in 2005 to $6.87M in 2008), productivity per employee rose from about $97K to $136–140K, profits climbed (from ~2% to 8% in two years), set‑up times fell by 66% to 2.5 hours, inventory dropped 30%, and on‑time delivery remained at about 99% — all enabled by JobBOSS visibility and control.
