volume-control: Volvo Kalmar plant - 1974 This might be the single Volvo plant that is best known and that has contributed substantially to Volvo’s image as a humanistic and responsible car manufacturer. The result at Kalmar was a new approach on both technical and social levels. The atmosphere of a small workshop was achieved by sub-dividing assembly into twenty-five separate team operations, each group consisting of about fifteen people, with further subdivision into groups of two or three for certain types of job. The transport of bodies was on separate battery-driven assembly carriers, not production lines, so that greater freedom in work planning was possible. (via: not2cad) -- source link
