Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Harley Davidson uses work cells to feed its assembly line. This means that they have separate work stations where specific parts of the bike are assembled before being brought to the final assembly line. This is more efficient than a job shop or product focused manufacturing as it streamlines the production process and reduces waiting times. While it is true that Harley uses a large number of modules to build a small number of different bikes, this is not the primary method in which they manufacture their motorcycles.
