No I understand what you're saying. I too spent quite a few years in machine production.

It happens, even though it shouldn't. In all honesty, with so many things coming and going in so many different directions, it's surprising more mistakes don't happen sometimes. No plant can accomplish 100% perfection, on every shift, every day.

Well, Honda figured it out. Our 2002 Honda Accord was recently traded in with 225,000 miles on it for a new Honda Pilot.

In 225,000 miles I changed tires, brakes, windshield wiper blades, 2 headlights, battery and oil. That is absolutely it. Not one single problem!

True "quality control management" eliminates the imbalance of the workforce. Doesn't matter squat if the worker is good or bad. The part/assembly MUST PASS quality control to move on the the customer.

After touring the remodeled York Plant, I couldn't see how they kept things straight anyway.  Coming down the same assembly line would be an assortment of different touring bikes, some destined for Calif, etc.  I thought it would be hard to ensure the right part got on the correct bike.
