The video is very interesting but it is nothing new. There are auto plants in Kentucky and California that build cars using the exact same methods. And that company is Toyota. They pioneered this production system over 60 years ago. The beauty of this system is that the cars being made can be balanced to meet changes in demand on a daily basis. Also, the employees love it so much that the UAW can't even get in the door let alone attempt to organize the plants. Even better for the employees, Toyotat has yet to have a layoff, even in down times.<br> <br> The system works so well that Boeing has adopted the system to buile 737's. The results have been that instead of taking 90 days to do final assembly of the planes, it now takes 27 days. And, the quality of the finished product has improved dramatically.<br> <br> We should all be thankful that Toyota came up with this methodology as well as being willing to give the secrets of the system away for FREE!! If Ford could implement this system in Michigan, it could make cars at a nice profit. The only losers would the UAW leadership.
