Every manufacturing opportunity is a job shop opportunity.
The high demand parts bought by the automotive, aerospace, energy and medical industries start as metal blanks in a machine shop.
And, whether it’s a production run or a prototype, 100,000 or one, job shops need to make money on every job.
Your competitor is no longer just the shop around the corner. You can’t measure yourself against him. Keep your eye on the guy wearing sandals halfway around the world, hungry to replace you.
Global competition, continuous pricing pressures and the need for immediate response are your constant companions.
Many job shops not only stay competitive and profitable in this changing global economy, they thrive by producing quality.
Representatives from three of the best shops in the United States—serving the aerospace, energy and medical industries—will talk about the strategies they use to keep their tools sharp, their spindles turning and their shops profitable.
Each is an American Machinist 10 Best Shop Award winner, passionate about his operation, and willing to share his knowledge and experience to help you be more competitive.
