One rolls off the line about every 60 seconds.It amazes me how fast they are cranking these things out.

Well remember across the whole lineup there are over a million ways you could configure the Jeep when you order it. Once you order it, the systems have to break your specific configuration into the 10s of thousands of parts needed and sends that info to the large tier 1 suppliers. Then in turn those tier 1 suppliers systems break down the parts I to sub parts that may come from tier 2 or tier 3 suppliers. So all that info gets ordered and has to come together and be ready to run down the line. That doesn't happen overnightWhen you point that out it seems mind blowing that people are waiting 2-3+ months for delivery.

20 hours up time at most of the plants. 2 10 hour shifts and 4 hours for machine maintenance. When demand is up they pretty much run 7 days a week. So in the case of Wrangler, it's been that way for many years.They run all day or 12 or 16 hours? Same schedule all the time or is it bumped up when a new model is released?

When something goes wrong with the line you would swear it was a nuclear bomb threat. Lights sirens dozens of people in work carts racing to area. It's impressive to see.Interesting. Hard to believe they can get anything done with the machines in 4 hours.

I agree, the volume produced is truely amazing as is the coordination it takes to run the assembly line.
But with that said, when a jeep which is no longer on the assembly line is held for a vendor part, but the assembly line continues to build, obviously there is a issue at hand. If the assembly line has the part to continue building, completing and shipping Jeeps, then why aren't there parts for the Jeeps off the assembly line. Why do they not have priority since they are built and obviously ordered before ones coming off the line now. Im confused.
