That's fine, if you're building 10,000+ of the same
model. You can work out the bugs (logical, mechanical,
and process) in your assembly program on the first
100 to 500 units, just like the auto companies do.
But if you only build 30 vessels in the same class,
with 60 customizations (giving 17 configurations),
you'll still be debugging the process when you
finish the last unit.
