It's funny but nobody in the assembly plant cares about the VIN. It's just another part to be put on the correct vehicle, like a tune up label or Mulroney window sticker. The GA sequence number is the gold source when referring to a particular build.
But, once it leaves the plant, nobody out in the world cares about the GA sequence number. It's all about the VIN. Because it's all they know.

Worked at an Assembly plant for 17 years.
Yes, The Sequence Number is all the Mangers went by.
Mostly to track defects and make repairs.
I work in Trim then the engine line, then Paint.
They were all Worlds apart on how the vehicles were in order.
The more vehicles produce an hour the less parts the technician would have to put on the vehicle.
With these Trucks being run at 30 something units an hour,
The person probably installed several parts on the truck at their job station.
That would be a little under a 2-minute line speed.
