Re: The future of manufacturing
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 70 copo</div><div class="ubbcode-body">18 months ago we toured Kenworth in my town and the staff there was complaining about the plant being land locked with no room to expand. They got a copy of "Echoes " and soon after they decided to build up....so much for the obsolecence of multi floor assembly plants!
</div></div> My alma mater - Chevrolet Flint Assembly - was/is also a multi floor assembly plant. Paint and trim were upstairs with chassis and final at the ground level. Seems to lend itself well to the body drop arrangement. The plant was built in 1947 and is still in use, building full size pickups and cab chassis vehicles. K
