I work in a factory. We make aerospace products.
That sounds exciting and possibly dangerous. Does your factory contain heavy equipment used for producing things in an assembly line?
It does. I'm normally a product development engineer, but for the last few weeks I've been directly working on a few of the assembly lines.
That sounds challenging. I'm so grateful for the assembly line, it's allowed factories to produce products that can be assembled faster and with less labor than traditional assembly.
We certainly make use of the concept. The current trend in manufacturing is to move to "single piece flow" through the assembly line. Ever heard of it?
No I have not heard of such a concept, perhaps you could explain it to me? Can it be applied to assembly of other complex items like automobiles and electronic goods?
