How can i scale my small manufacturing business without chaotic one-off orders?

[OliverA]

I’m facing a real dilemma with my small manufacturing business. We’ve been so focused on chasing every new customer inquiry that our production line is now a chaotic mess of custom one-off orders, each with its own unique specs and tiny margins. This constant context switching is killing our efficiency and morale. I’m starting to wonder if this relentless pursuit of growth is actually undermining our core operations.
