"Keeping pace with heightened demand, xxxxx has dedicated an assembly line for production of its high-end diesel pushers...

According to plant manager xxxx xxxxxxx, the Ind.-based manufacturer now runs its diesel pushers on a manufacturing line that runs two units a day, spending four hours on each unit.

Dedicating a line to xxxxx's luxury units "allows us more time to give them the attention to detail that they need," said xxxxxxxx."


   -- from an article published today. I x'd out identifiers because intention is not to slam the manufacturer - just thought it funny :) And I know this isn't an apples-apples comparison to our insanity

Something is fishy here. They are certainly not counting the hours that went into all of the components they are putting in.

Yeah, they're certainly talking Line hours, not man hours.
