Re: Body Bank
It's an accumulator between either the BIW build and paint shop, or between paint and general assembly. Normally it has several rows of vehicles lined up, and bodies can be pulled from the first position of any row in order to balance work load or option content downstream.
It also serves as a "buffer" in case either the body shop or paint goes down due to a maintenance issue or material shortage and allows the final line to run unaffected (for a little while, anyway). K
