I don't know, but I can say there is logic in doing the exact opposite. We purposefully mix things up on the Kenworth production line in order to balance out the workflow. Even fleets of exact trucks (all identical options/colors etc) are spread out.



While I believe you. It seems counterproductive?? I would think that any factory that has a "non conventional" project would be better off doing them at the same time, to not upset the daily production of the "bread and butter" stuff? But hey, what do I know?

Well, another reason is when each car is the same people start to make assumptions. Thats dangerous, you want the assemblers referencing the build sheet (we call it build paper) on EVERY car. Few mistakes are made that way.
I agree that it seems counter-intuitive.
