<p>An apparatus for assembling comprises: a plurality of assembly lines 1 each having a plurality of assembly stages 12,22,32,42 each having their own inspection and repair stages 14,24,34,44; and a communications network linking the plurality of assembly/inspection/repair stages throughout the plurality of assembly lines. Each of the inspection stages may have a data entry and computer display system so that it is possible to enter and view defects detected and repairs carried out at each of the inspection/repair stages throughout the plurality of assembly lines. The ability to view this information at the various inspection/repair stages along the assembly lines, and at other production related departments of the assembly lines, is intended to allow counter measures to defects detected to be produced and the impact of defects on the remainder of the other assembly lines to be reduced. There is also disclosed a method of manufacturing, a method of assembly, a system for tracking an assembly, an assembly line, a method of operating an assembly line, and a computer software media for controlling a processor all concerned with such an apparatus.</p> |
