Phil - did Norwood build "straight through" from body shop to final line?

Or did they have any kind of accumulator/body bank between body shop and paint, and/or between paint and trim?

Phil's answer is more detailed, and Keith already knows this, but the accumulators / buffers take up space and are inefficient. The buffers that they had didn't hold a lot of cars.
If you want to hide process issues, install a big buffer.
