Audio equipment refers to devices that reproduce, record, or process sound. This includes microphones, radio receivers, AV receivers, CD players, tape recorders, amplifiers, mixing consoles, effects units, headphones, and speakers.
Just as there is no one way to fabricate a metal part, there is no one way to conduct a meeting to discuss how a metal part may be made.
The production meeting is as ubiquitous as the sheet metal delivered to the shop each morning. Every shop needs to know what is happening for that day if the right parts are to be delivered on time to the right customers.
