Brian Lanning - GENESIS MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS
Brian Lanning — Genesis Manufacturing Solutions
I’ve spent over 30 years in manufacturing, working directly with machine shops to program parts, troubleshoot issues, and improve production processes.
My background includes hands-on CNC programming, manufacturing engineering, and experience as an Applications Engineer for a major tooling manufacturer.
I bring a Lean Manufacturing mindset, ISO 9001 knowledge, and a business degree focused on operations — which means I’m not just looking at the code, I’m looking at how the entire process performs.
I don’t just write programs — I help solve the real problems that stop parts from running.
I approach every job from both the shop floor and the business side — because both have to work.

Why Contract Support Works
Most shops don’t need a full-time manufacturing engineer or CNC programmer every day — but they do need experienced support when problems arise, new jobs come in, or production needs to improve.
Contract support gives you access to real-world manufacturing experience exactly when you need it — without the overhead, downtime, or long-term commitment of a full-time hire.

-
No full-time salary, benefits, or overhead
-

Real-world solutions, not theory

Work can often be structured as a business expense
-
Training and process improvement may qualify for state or local workforce development funding

A hands-on partner focused on keeping parts running — not a consultant who drops in and disappears

Avoid the cost and disruption of hiring, onboarding, and turnover
