From Burnout to Balance: Scaling a Mecha Inc with Cogent

Описание: How do you improve operational efficiency, increase net profit, and prepare a manufacturing business for long-term growth? In this testimonial, Bobby Boyd, President of Mecca Incorporated, shares how Cogent Analytics helped transform his precision machine shop through structured profit strategy, ISO 9001 certification support, and operational consulting.

Before working with Cogent, Mecca Incorporated was a successful custom parts manufacturer for embedded computers — but faced challenges in efficiency, hiring practices, employee incentives, and financial clarity. Net profit calculations were inaccurate due to accounting practices, organizational structure was loose, and quality processes needed strengthening to pursue ISO 9001 certification.

Through its behavioral change management process, Cogent Analytics evaluated financial systems, organizational structure, HR practices, and operational workflows. The consulting team implemented clearer job descriptions, accountability systems, structured hiring practices, improved QuickBooks financial reporting, and introduced a profit-first strategy — treating profit as a planned expense rather than leftover income.

The results included improved net profit visibility, enhanced employee accountability, accelerated ISO 9001 certification progress, fully implemented KPI tracking tools, stronger quality control processes, and measurable improvements in production output. Most importantly, leadership gained clarity, confidence, and the ability to step away from daily 12–16 hour workdays.

Cogent Analytics helps manufacturing companies, machine shops, and small businesses build scalable systems that drive profitability, operational efficiency, and leadership independence. To learn how Cogent can help your business grow faster and stronger, visit https://cogentanalytics.com.
