An industry perspective

摘要

The previous 12 "Precision Matters" columns dealt with ship floor production, with particular emphasis on precision sheet metal job shop processes (because that's my vocational expertise).In the next series of columns, we will move into the shop office. I had an opportunity to meet with dozens of folks at The FABRICATOR~R's Sheet Metal Forum in Las Vegas last April. Their comments, along with 3-mailed queries, inspired me to address organizational challenges that are common in job shops. Business development, human relations, delegation, and planning are among he topics to be tackled.
