What I get from that video is the parts are not made there, but shipped in and assembled into sub-assemblies, by these vendors. There is no reason why Ford couldn't use the exact same plant, and have Ford employees do the sub-assemblies. The innovation is in the design of the vehicles that allow that assembly system, and the design of the facilities that make it possible.

Oh, and the biggest innovation is someone running the show that doesn't have their head up their ass.
