How fast do you think they can build a TT?

Cars/Trucks can be built so that every few mins one rolls off the line. That started with the Model T where every 2.5 hours Henry Ford rolled one off the line. HOWEVER, with RV's, while they use assembly line/stall build processes, from what I see in that vid, they may not have any standard work (documented processes) for assembly...what do I mean by that? How many nails to hold in a rafter? A floor? These things should be engineered, and taught to the assembly workers...not left up to them. I could go into more detail, but from a manufacturing standpoint, it seemed things are kinda built as they go. No guards on wiring around corners (an issue I've had in my TT when wires rub themselves bare).
I have 20 years in manufacturing...so again, the vid shows me its more "get er done" than using jigs, standard work.
**By the way, my biggest pet peave with the last 3 or 4 TT's we've owned is the raw material left behind...cutouts, saw dust, wire, etc. Can you imagine getting into a new car and the roof cutout for your sunroof is laying in the backseat? Or bits of wire all over the floor (they use pre-made harnesses so that won't happen anyway).
