All three models are started in Assembly, where all materials are assembled. The Commuter is then sent to Packaging, where it is packaged and transferred to finished goods inventory. The Sport is then transferred to Detailing. Once the detailing process is completed, the Sport models are transferred to Packaging and then finished goods.
