All joking aside, here's a pretty cool video on the Jeep Assembly Line
Good point, they figured out that quality hardware is worth the cost because it streamlines assemblySeen it before but it's just amazing how they know what parts go on what unit. Nothing stripped or broken. How do they build the parts that build them.
Most air craft are done this way, it's all about JIT and laborPretty cool. Saw the F-16 assembly line in operation once when out in Fort Worth for work, very similar idea. Final assembly is a whole bunch of pre made sub assemblies going together fast.

Ah, yes, very true, however in this case I was able to be there to see the process, which also involved seeing the formation lights our company makes installed on the aircraft. [emoji106]Most air craft are done this way, it's all about JIT and labor
I worked at a Ford assembly plant for 15 years. While it doesn't happen super often, there are stripped threads and broken parts everyday. When I worked there they called it TGW (things gone wrong) and it was a metric they kept track of pretty close. I don't remember what the numbers were but it was kept track of in a ratio... so many per 100 cars. I do remember that I always thought it was high. But when I think about it now...all the parts and pieces that go into a vehicle...it's no wonder.Seen it before but it's just amazing how they know what parts go on what unit.
