  • It is way cheaper. two assembly lines to assmebly 2 packs, separate work orders, specific assembly per model ordered ( so customet doesn’t pay for low end amd accidentally get highend or vice versa ), CAD and data management of two variations. It is why ModelT only came in black, is streamlines the whole process. You see much simpler examples in other induatries ie. that use stock material. it is cheaper to stock say 3 foot precut lengths and if product only needs 2 feet you chop it off at assembly and throw away the 1 foot scrap, rather than stocking and inventorying 2 foot and 3 foot stocks. Unless you invest in an expensive atock feeder that cuts the stock to length typed in, but that machine isn’t mobile so neesa to be placed at the exact location of assembly. And if you need it two places you need two stock machines, so then you start weighing the crude method vs precise






  • Ha, this happened to me. I’m a super safe driver, but my wife convinced me that there was only one car at the intersection and it was deserted at night, and so I should do a u-turn because she saw a stray cat on the side of the road. The other car was a cop of course. Got pulled over, they were super nervous, because they didn’t see a cat, so didn’t believe why I had done a uturn in front of them. Once they ran my ID they let me off since I had 30+ years driving with clean record. But I won’t be doing a random uturn again.
