But honda are really way behind imo with production methods on certain aspects of a car.
BUT i've seen a wing on a escos thats been bonded on by a bodyshop
I'll give ford their dues, they would make sure that they had the most expensive,easy to use bit of kit around to speed up production and theyd look at using say 10 bolts for the wings as 10 x 5,000,000 etc as that's just the way they thought.
I remember being asked to speed up the program in anyway I could on transit disc production one day as they had such a large order book that every one or two seconds they could save in production equated to more parts.
I scoured the program and got about 5 seconds per channel out of it.
Never had the heart to tell them we stopped after 640 parts on an eight hour shift!!!!
Amazed they never sussed it out how we did "circa" 640 parts everyday.
