Kieran makes her approval of modular assembly clear in the fourth chapter praising particularly the fabrication of the car. The author points to the theory of "joining" inwhich the relation of parts in an artifact and the potential interfaces between parts is exponential. In other words, since time is money, the less number of joints at final assembly, the lower the Cost. Additionally, the lower number of joints also lowers the chances of mistakes thus raising Quality. Thus, "designing in chunks" lowers Cost and raises Quality
Oh Also It would appear that the fragmentation of the fragmentation of the assembly process results in BOTH more Quantity (since it saves time) and better Quality products (less joints, more focus on each module by a dedicated team).
