Operational stability for CNC job shops

From firefighting to a shop that runs on plan.

We stabilise CNC job shops: workflow discipline, built into a system your team actually uses, and coached on your floor until it holds.

  • Free 90-minute walk
  • Fixed quote before any paid work
  • No fee if we don't find 3 problems

Needs immediate attention

Sample shop
  • Awaiting assignment Needs an owner 2
  • Overdue Past its response time 4
  • Critical priority Immediate response required 1
Before: you hear about problems at the end of the day. After: you see what needs you right now.

Sound familiar?

What owners tell us about their floor

If three or more of these sound like your shop, the problem usually isn't your people or your machines. It's the way work flows between them.

Why shops stay unstable

No single event breaks a shop. The chain does.

A machine stops, the plan changes, and each change pushes the next. Without a fixed way to absorb them, small disruptions add up to late deliveries.

  1. Machine Disruption
  2. Priority Change
  3. Schedule Adjustment
  4. Workflow Disruption
  5. Growing WIP
  6. Delivery Risk

What changes on your floor

From chasing work to seeing it

The change happens in how work moves through your shop. The system we build around it is how it stays that way. Here is what that looks like day to day.

Reactive production

“Every day starts with a fire.”

Before

Breakdowns were reported over the phone and forgotten by the next shift.

After

Every problem has a named owner and a response deadline, and it is flagged the minute that deadline passes.

Sample shop A reported machine problem with its owner, response deadline and a response-overdue warning (example built for a sample shop)

Pressure-driven decisions

“The loudest customer gets their job first.”

Before

Every job was “urgent”, and priorities changed with every phone call.

After

Rush jobs are approved on purpose, against a promised date, and flagged the moment they go off track.

Sample shop Approved rush jobs, each with a promised date and an on-track or off-track status (example built for a sample shop)

Workflow discipline

“Jobs only move when someone chases them.”

Before

“Where is my job?” meant a walk to the machine and three phone calls.

After

Every job’s stage, good pieces and risk are visible in one row.

Sample shop Job rows showing each job’s current stage, good pieces and risk (example built for a sample shop)

Execution clarity

“Nobody knows what’s next after a shift change.”

Before

Shift handover was a two-minute chat at the gate.

After

Each job carries a written status, an expected finish and the next step.

Sample shop Shift notes on a job: written status, expected finish and next step (example built for a sample shop)

Operational fragility

“One breakdown and the week collapses.”

Before

Nobody could say what happened, who acted or how long it took.

After

Every step (reported, owned, fixed, closed) is on record with a name and a time. This one went from reported to closed in 54 minutes.

Sample shop Timeline of one problem from reported to owned, fixed and closed, with names and times (example built for a sample shop)

Examples built for a sample shop, with demo names and data. Every system is designed around the shop it is built for.

How we work

We change how the shop runs, then build the system that keeps it that way

  1. OP 10

    Understand your floor

    Free 90-minute walk, then 2–3 days on site

    We start with a walk on your floor and name 3 places where work is losing stability. In the review we follow real jobs, find where they wait and why, and record your starting numbers: late jobs, open problems, response times.

    You get: a map of how work really flows, and what your system must do. See a sample review report →

  2. OP 20

    Design and build your workflow system

    Timeline fixed in writing before we start

    We design the rules first (who owns a problem, how fast they must respond, how priorities change), then build them into a simple system your team uses on the floor, on a phone or a PC.

    You get: a system built around your shop, not a package your shop must adapt to.

  3. OP 30

    Coach until it holds

    On your floor, month by month

    We work with your supervisors and operators until the new way is a habit, and we adjust the system as your shop changes. Progress is measured with the same numbers we recorded at the start.

    You get: a team that runs the system without anyone chasing it.

Specialization

Who we work with

Operator loading a part into a CNC turning centre in a machine shop

CNC machine shops

Manage complex setups, tool changes, machine capacity, and multi-shift production without losing control of workflow.

Inspector measuring a precision machined part on a surface plate

Precision component manufacturers

Maintain quality, documentation, and production coordination across complex, tolerance-critical workflows.

Small batches of different parts waiting on racks and trolleys in a job shop

High-mix, low-volume manufacturing

Manage frequent changeovers, variable routing, and unpredictable order flow without allowing workflow instability to spread.

Why work with a new firm

We're new. Here is how we make that safe for you.

We won't show you client logos we don't have. Instead, you see our thinking on your own floor before you pay anything, and the risk of the first step is ours.

Founding Client Programme

Open to the first 3 shops

  1. 1

    Free 90-minute floor walk. At the end you get 3 places where your workflow is losing stability.

  2. 2

    A fixed quote for the review, based on your shop's size and days on site, agreed in writing before we start. Founding shops pay a reduced fee that roughly covers our time on your floor.

  3. 3

    In return, we record your starting numbers and, with your permission, share the results as our first case study.

Promise 1

No 3 problems, no fee

If the review doesn't find at least 3 problems costing you time, money or deliveries, you don't pay for it.

Promise 2

The review fee is credited

If you go ahead with the build, the full review fee is adjusted against it.

Heena, Founder of KeshRaghTech

Who you'll work with

Our team brings more than 13 years of building workflow systems that help owners run the business and keep daily work on track. The same team comes to your floor, runs the review, builds your system and coaches your people until it holds.

“Companies that run on systems grow. Shops that run on phone calls and memory lose the owner's day to firefighting, whatever their size. KeshRaghTech exists to give every shop that stability, built around how its own floor works.”

Questions owners ask

Before you book a walk

Is this software? Do we have to buy a licence?

We don't sell a software package. We study how your shop runs, design the workflow it needs, and build that workflow into a system your team uses on a phone or a PC. It can run on a shared, economical setup or as your own separate setup; we suggest which suits you after the review.

What does it cost?

The floor walk is free. After it, you get a fixed quote for the review based on your shop's size and the days we need on site, agreed in writing before we start. If the review doesn't find at least 3 problems costing you time, money or deliveries, there is no fee, and if you go ahead with the build, the full review fee is credited to it.

How much of my time and my team's time does it take?

The walk takes 90 minutes with you on the floor. The review is 2-3 days on site, mostly watching real jobs and talking to the people who run them, so production keeps running. The build timeline is fixed in writing before we start.

What size of shop do you work with?

Any size. What matters is not the number of machines but how the shop runs: if work moves by phone calls, memory and chasing, there is stability to gain.

We already have accounting software or an ERP. Do we replace it?

No. The workflow system covers what happens on the floor: jobs, priorities, problems, handovers and response times. Your accounting and billing stay where they are.

My people are not comfortable with computers. Will this work?

Each screen is built for the person who uses it, with only what they need, and it works on a phone. We coach on the floor until using it is routine, not a one-time training.

Where do you work?

We are based in Delhi NCR and work with CNC job shops across India and abroad. If your shop is outside Delhi NCR, message us on WhatsApp and we'll plan together how the visit and support can work for your shop.
