No...different company, but these systems and practices have been adopted world-wide in recent history. If he was able to get it, one of a couple of conditions existed.

1) BMW was less automated than companies are today. Lots of this systems management technology advanced in the last decade.

2) Cloth was an internally released condition, even if not in the public materials, allowing the plant to accept and build the order.
