I love this sort of thing, manufacturing systems and well tuned production lines can as interesting as the engineering itself.
 
Decent video, looks like a soul destroying place to work though.

Yeah production line stuff I could watch for hours, it's great.

Neal I guess you've seen/got 'the' R19 development book then?
 
Oh yeah, I'm sure it's mind numbing as a shop floor worker

I heard somewhere that on the BMW mini line if the car doesnt start at the end after a few turns of the key, they just crush it. Dunno how true it is though, seems hard to believe but makes sense in some ways if you think about it.

I had a video saved to my bookmarks a while ago that showed the VW phaeton showcase assembly line, might have been linked off the old forum actually.

I've got some documentation at work with some photos of parts of the F22 raptor assembly line, all the assembly jigs and stuff, incredible. Went round the A400M wing assembly facility at Airbus yesterday afternoon as well, just amazing. That's what had me looking for production line videos. Aerospace manufacturing is just awesome.

Yep, Ive got 2 copies of the book.
 
i wish putting on a rear bumper went as smooth for me as it did for those guys...

love watching that stuff though
 
the phaeton vid is good, a higher class of production line.

The BMW ones are good as well especially the power plant selection off the shelves.

As for the mini they won't crush it if it doesn't start
 
I like this, can't find vid 2 of 3 on there tho

Just watched a few of these, Audi, Porsche, Fiat etc and the thing i noticed most was the uniforms, Porsche workers have a decent looking uniform, Audi staff have nice audi logoed polo shirts, Fiat.... hillbilly check shirts and dungarees hehe
