I know that back lot well! This 1992 factory tour is noteworthy in that Porsche adopted a significant change in manufacturing philosophy after hiring several retired Toyota executives out of retirement to help them use modern manufacturing techniques, like Just In Time (Demming) techniques and close inventory control. Recall too, that in 1992 Porsche took serious demand hits globally because the demand for ‘sports cars’ had wained. This further caused Porsche AG to begin designing a broader range of cars like the Boxster and Cayenne SUV. With demand for such vehicles, Porsche was able to continue experimenting on far more advanced fleet expansions. Porsche successfully took the Toyota recommendations to heart and revamped their tiny mostly manual production process into the highly automated factory of today-and highly profitable one. For many years, it has been said that Porsche is the most profitable automobile company in the world. No car built is built just for the sake of plugging one out. Each is built to order, albeit many are mostly built to dealership specific requests.
You can also see Mercedes 500E's in the parking lot shot when Porsche helped in the Mercedes manufacture the legendary "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" v8 sedan.
