Read the text about car production.

Almost every car is produced to the customer’s specific requirements – a built-to –order car.

As soon as a car is ordered and a delivery date agreed, weekly and daily production schedules are created and sent to outside suppliers and the company’s own pre-assembly stations. This is to make sure that all the necessary components arrive on time.

First of all, a small data carrier is attached to the floor pan in the body shop. This data carrier contains all the customer’s specifications and communicates wirelessly with control units along the production line. In the body shop the floor pan, wheel arches, side panels, and bonnet – are then mounted to make the body-in-white.

The finished body shell then goes into the paint shop where the data carrier determines the colour. In final assembly, the interior and exterior parts (for example the front and rear bumpers, headlights, windscreen, and other windows) are fitted. After quality control and a final check, the finished car can be released. It is now ready for delivery to its new owner.

Describe the car production process in your own words.
