Sorry, that was done by Matt Carter at the original Mac Factory in Fremont, California. It was state-of-the-art at the time, and Matt did a fantastic job setting it up and running it until Steve Jobs insulted him one too any time and Matt told him to screw off and quit. Jobs had a panic attack and did everything in his power to get Matt back, but Matt refused. Like many engineers around Jobs, he'd had enough and there were a lot of work available in the Valley where they didn't get trate like crap by a paranoid narcissist.

No sir, it was not, because the need for it did not yet exist. . . nor were the complex nature of the assembly in China with plants everywhere. Cook is credited with this. Sorry, you are wrong. Some parts of it are Carter's but the whole is not.

Sorry right back at you, I've got personal knowledge of this. The original Mac factory was JIT - no inventory - and Matt Carter set it up. And was quite famous for it at the time, btw. This is not an issue subject to questioning, as even a little research will prove. You do people who accomplished a lot a disservice here. You don't have to knock others to support Cook.
