An assembly line (14) having particular utility for use in assembling sheet metal parts includes a work station (18) having one or more production part trays (32, 34), a pilot part tray (36) and an indexer (38) that indexes these part trays in a transverse direction to a direction of conveyance (C) of the assembly line to permit one of the two production part trays (32, 34) to be used for production or the pilot part tray (36) to be used for a future pilot test. Detachable couplings (56) allow the production and pilot part trays to be moved to a maintenance station (42, 44) that is outside of the assembly line work area (25).
