    I don't know if this has ever been posted - in Youtube I have found 10 videos showing the assembly of the Prius in the Tsutsumi plant.
    Here the first of the Series:


    The rest of the videos are called "PRIUS TSUTSUMI ASSEMBLY Div #x", where x is a number up to 9.

    Very interesting to actually see the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Production_System"]TPS[/ame] at work - in one video a Camry(?) is assembled on the same line of the Prius! This is what I would call flexible manufacturing..

    Yes, they are the same. Somehow when I started the thread I was not warned from the Forum editing software that a similar post was already created.
    Oh, well - in any case I have added the link to the post and the original posting on Youtube on the Prius Wiki.
