Except that they seem to be making and assembling larger/fewer parts, this doesn't look substantially different from the Toyota plant I worked at 10 years ago.


It kind of was a Toyota plant in an earlier incarnation, the old GM-Toyota NUMMI plant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUMMI.


Of course it isn’t. It would be very surprising if what they did were substantially different. I think it’s very unlikely that large leaps in productivity are possible. Given the competition, all of these processes already have to be pretty optimised.
