Thank you, dreamwonder.
Looks pretty straightforward for DIYers.

It looks like they dyno-ed the car toward the end. It would be nice if they left a print out of it in the glove box for the GR models.

They don’t dyno for power it’s part of quality control. That would be a really bad idea to do a pull without it being strapped down lol.

This was AMAZING! I kind of can't believe they let them record that much.
It's interesting that there's no such thing as a slick trunk lid - you have to have at least the small lip. |

It's interesting how they have different models coming down the assembly line instead of grouping them by the same model.

I've always dreamed of visiting this assembly line.
And forcing the workers to install a WRX 6MT drivetrain into a Levorg body at gunpoint. |

There's a great video on Amazon where James May visits the Mini factory (James May's Build a Car in 24 Hours). It goes into much more detail than this does. For those that don't know, Mini's are primarily built to order, so its amazing watching all the parts coming together at just the right time. It also deals a little with the JIT processing used with vendors, etc. Definitely worth the time to watch.

I know you are joking but that dream would be impossible. They are assembly workers not mechanics. Many will go their whole career doing one part and wouldn't even know how to do another without training. Any deviations from the norm and they will stand there with a blank look until somebody comes and fixes it for them. Since changing a drivetrain is more than just bolting in different parts you would not have a gun big enough to force them to do anything.

In any assembly plant if ere is a hole in the wrong place it is going to involve somebody from quality, engineering , purchasing EHS and manufacturing to resolve the issue. Probably more than one person from each actually. In a Union shop it could also involve a Steward because it would mean a change in the job. The actual assembler would have zero say in the matter and most certainly would not be drilling a new hole on their own. Well, at least not after they were caught doing it at any rate. The structure and hierarchy of assembly plants is very rigid. It is the only way they can stay efficient enough to make money.

Coming from a small company watching videos of large manufacturing is always really impressive. People talk about athletes when discussing efficiency of motion. I think of modern automotive production plants

Was pretty much an updated version of the one in this video (on Youtube so I guess is safe to show) but not doing BMW! I spent some time in the plant shown to work out how the new one could be even more efficient. Biggest difference is we went with robotic carts instead of the fixed conveyor shown. We also have more robots handing the assemblies than they have. That plant is actually pretty oldschool. We do the same "just in sequence" that he talks about. Each unit is built to a specific VIN and goes on that vehicle. It is literally built an hour before it gets bolted on the vehicle. People get this idea that there are big warehouses of parts built and ready to go but almost nothing are sitting around the assembly plants waiting to be put on. Even things such as the nuts and bolts don't show up until the scheduled build.
