A first conveyor is located between the first and second assembly lines for carrying workpieces from the end of the first assembly line to the beginning of the second assembly line, and a second conveyor is located between the second assembly line and the third assembly line for carrying workpieces from the end of the second assembly line to the beginning of the third assembly line. The first assembly line, the first conveyor, the second assembly line, the second conveyor, and the third assembly line are arranged in a substantially spiral configuration. The first and second conveyors are overhead conveyors such that parts and workpieces can be transported to the assembly lines by passing underneath the conveyors.
