As to the handbuilt concept, Fluffys on the ball, pioneered by Mr Ford and referred to today as 'Fordism'. Now perfected by every company in the world.

Whether its cars, processors, washers or burgers.
Exactly.

Burgers for example.
One person grills 'em
One sticks 'em in the bun
One gobs in it
One hands you the wrong order and stares at you gormlessly

Don't see too many car manufacturers putting grilling their product and putting it in a bun

Ade, as for getting access to a plant to get photo's. Unlikely. Unless you've a good reason to come and view (i.e. you supply parts to one) are visiting on training (and paying a lot of money for the privalige) we can't really get people on-site. Was trying recently since a friend wanted a look around a car plant. Dunno what Nissan are like though
Or i could just walk to one of the production lines and take a few photos with my camera phone.

Ahhhhh

Ok, just re-read your post and it makes more sense. You work at the NETC?

The production lines at Royces look exactly like the Tochigi plant.

They are both made in the handmade Togichi plant, remember.
Production was recently switched from Tochigi to Suzuka. Hence some of the delivery delays currently being experienced.

I wouldn't have thought that Honda would stockpile - I would have thought that they used JIT. Could be wrong.

Move from Tochigi to Suzuka
