Kurt,
I am posting this for the production superintendent. A man in his mid 80's so I am asking you to be nice and reply or simply ignore it for the benefit of the others watching the thread.
1. The Photo posted there is LOS Not Norwood. I thought the subject was about a fender extension marking from Norwood?
2. Los was TOWVEYOR. Mostly different assembly method used at the two plants.
3. What is the accuracy of the control group? Are all of the images being shown verified as coming from Norwood?
4. Sequencing was to be used. Marks were applied to insure a valance assembly made it to the correct doghouse.
5. ARO's were frequently in SMFA. Some these personnel were barely literate, they knew numbers but had poor reading skills. The more ARO's assigned to an area the more sequencing markings would assist them.
(ARO) Absentee Replacement Operator, (SMFA) Sheet Metal Final Assembly
6. The assumption that any operator, supervisor, or anyone else for that matter had the additional time to create a complex series of abbreviations duplicated from a manifest block to sub control assembly processes is patently absurd as that would require a huge and costly human capital training program to insure compliance and would not be strictly limited to a few markings on a sheet metal panel here or there.
