Question
It is pointed out at the start that every car is
made to order, yet the product is mass
produced. "Every car is different". How can this
be so in such a mass production line?
O The cars go round the assembly line more
than once
The variants for each individual car are
superficial (bumper choice, colour, trim etc)
and only possible if the production line is not
disrupted
By making changes to the product at the end
of the production line in accordance to the
order
By involving more staff in the assembly
process
