Unit 3: Ford's High Tech Factory - Dynamic Efficiency

This is an excellent piece from the BBC news channel that looks at the efficiency gains being accumulated in Ford's new 'mega factory' in Valencia. It highlights the marginal gains that Ford have been able to eke out using the most modern technology.
It makes for interesting reading about the minute detail that Ford are having a look at, smartwatches to enhance workforce communication, for instance. And yet, as one analyst notes - "the build pace [of each car] is nothing outstanding."
