While a worker on a conventional assembly line might spend his entire shift mounting one license-plate lamp after another, every member of a Kalmar work team may work at one time or another on all parts of the electrical system-from taillights to turn signals, head lamps, horn, fuse box and part of the electronically controlled fuel-injection system.
