@Tcoat, are you talking about UAW plants? I've never been to one of those but have spent time in several other vehicle production plants in different countries that even after port processing at the eventual destination have the lowest damage incidence rate in the industry.

BTW, it's quite a sight to see an entire assembly line changed over to build an entirely different vehicle on the same line in less than an hour.

They had the fit and finish QC types you mention, nearly as many as the line workers, each with the ability to stop the line at any moment to correct issues, pretty cool but I'd be nervous to be the first on my shift to hit the panic button.
