I am starting my 35th year at GM. I've worked in Vehicle Assembly, Product Engineering, Production Engineering, Product Development (in both Milford and Mesa), Program Management and New Product Launch. I've spent time in every GM Full Size truck plant in North America- eight years at Flint -and one small car plant </div></div>

To that end, do you have any idea why the willow run cars have the smaller broadcast sheets rather than the norm?

And, yes I agree. Years ago they were just so much waste paper (after the fact) I've found other factory papers also (mostly under the carpet)..

No - just local plant preference.

You will find it varies within the same plant, too, as they tailor the document to meet their specific needs for that assembly area.

That's not a broadcast sheet. I don't know what those were called, it has the info from the cowl tag, with some options and were mostly used by the person putting the seat cover on. I have some Chevy 2 broadcast sheets from 68/69 (Body and Chassis Broadcast copies), they used those and the cards for each car.

When I took a tour of the Flint plant 2 years ago, I asked the tour guide what they do with all the paper. He said it gets thrown away. There's a spot on the line where most of that stuff gets removed, papers and inspection stickers, etc.

Not sure which document you are referring to, but the one I posted is in fact called a build sheet. Could also be called the build manifest.

I used to give those tours at Flint Assembly (34 years ago).
