Getting It Under Control

Computer-assisted shop control smooths out this job shop's internal workings, gains the respect of their customers, and brings additional dividends to the bottom line. Surface Engineering is hardly your average shop. Their specialty is high-precision grinding of small round parts--just the sort of thing you'd expect to find in computer disk drives. No wonder, then, that this San Jose, California, shop does a substantial portion of their business with...
