Seen 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.
 
Pretty 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.

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.
