Mr.Beck manages the shop and makes sure that everyone can get their job done. Mr. Beck has been in the Steel Fabrication business for a long time.

The operator of the shop office is Willie McMinn answers phone calls for the shop and will talk to the people who need the steel and get truck drivers in the trucks and send them off to the place that needs to be built with the steel’s from Russellville Steel. Mr.McMinn has one of the most important jobs for the entire company. If Mr.McMinn wasn’t there, the entire company would collapse. The shop is just as important as the office. The shop has to be there to fabricate the steel for the company, just like the office has to be there to detail the steel. One thing that is interesting, is that the shop still uses paper blueprints, although they are all computerized as well. The shop and the office need to work together and be able to go back and forth from the shop to the office. All the people in the shop work just as hard as the people in the office.
