The Saturn factory in Spring Hill, TN and the Nissan factory in Smyrna, TN
(both near Nashville) provide tours.
The Saturn tour is very impressive. It is very clean for a manufacturing
plant. The detail to quality was very high and the ergonomics of the work
stations was well thought out. The in-house engine and transmission casting
was very state of the art using Styrofoam for the molds.
The Corvette plant in Bowling Green, KY (60 miles north of Nashville) also
has tours. If you go to the Corvette plant, be sure and visit the Corvette
museum.
