In November 2002, the Boeing 767 production line officially transitioned from performing final assembly tasks in a conventional station to station (shown here) a to orienting the airplane in a straight line configuration when it faced two 767s toward the big factory doors in Everett, Washington. The Boeing 767 joined other Boeing manufacturing programs, which also use this manufacturing technique -- called a moving line -- to improve production efficiency and quality, while shortening the time it takes to deliver airplanes to airline customers.
