That was a running joke for the Japanese guys I worked with, in the Tool and Die job I had.
I remember one particular (car part)
that I drove to 3 states to fix the current issue,
It was The driver-side mirror (pocket) piece on a N___an Al__ma.
The Blanking die in Alabama was making a burr on the part.
So I went down there to sharpen the shear.
Then the transfer dies in Tn. that stamped this flat plate into shape
needed shimming to pass QA inspection.
Then one last trip to Georgia to get the die that stamps
the part that the DS window rolls up into Working correctly.,
Which this piece gets welded to the mirror pocket there in that plant.
Now once the window sash piece is welded to the mirror piece in Georgia,
From there it was shipped to Smyrna Tn.
where it got welded to the lower part of the door assembly.
And we wonder why new cars cost so much.
I am sure with these pieces that go on our truck,
That there is a lot of this going on.
And some of the Stamping plants probably Ignore the Quality Assurance Inspectors.
Because to them it not as important as a Production vehicle.
Just my 2 cents.
