As far as the 8 pairs of eyes, that is why I believe middle management should always have as much work to do as the people under them.
I've seen a symbiosis struck at various times.
The freedom to do your job, and cost-effectively too, within your skill level can be very gratifying. Of course it is also one's duty to diligently perform the task at hand in exchange for their pay.
I'm afraid that with GMS, even as standardization is applied, some intangible aspect of craftsmanship is lost. The job elements are sometimes compressed to the point of unnaturalness. Fluidity can be scarce within the footprint of the job.

Every second of your time on-the-line, including the interval between heartbeats, is accounted for now.

This statement of mine, a mixture of observation and opinion, applies to those souls directly involved in bringing the vehicle to 'life' as it were.
