You have to understand how highly automated assembly lines are these days...especially
automotive
The build work order is all done via computers and the minions of robots down
stream from the main frame that generated and sent the order just follow orders
The robots order the parts, pick the parts out of stock, etc, etc
Staged into bins/pallets/etc for 'that order code'
EVERYTHING is scanned multiple times during their journey to the assembly line
The robots or assembly folks has the vehicle chassis show up at their station
and the various parts (either big or tiny) show up exactly at that time and spot
There is no longer any 'thought' about the diff gear set's ratio...it is just a
'part' that will be installed to that vehicle
This is just a part of ISO9000 metrics and documentation will be
reviewed closely...to me, sad that ISO9000 certification is just a
one time thing to then after gaining ISO9000...it is pretty much
self re-certification...until something like this happens...
Class action, as if their system allowed a wrong gear set on 'one'...what does
that say about the rest in these 'highly automated' systems?
One of my Past career was industrial controls, motor controls, robotics,
process control, factory automation, etc...
