Precision assembly process and advance tooling methods of use

A method of manufacturing an assembly of components, comprising:

• positioning first and second components into a nominal configuration with respect to each other at a first factory location, the positioning including placing the first component onto a front surface of a jig, the front surface opposite a back surface of the jig;
• aligning a drill with an aperture in the jig at the back surface, the drill coupled to a track of the jig that runs along at least a portion of a length of the jig;
• drilling a fastener joining hole through an interface of the first and second components at the first factory location by moving a drill bit of the drill through the aperture to create the fastener joining hole through the first component and the second component:
• separating the first and second components after drilling the fastener joining hole;
• and
• positioning the first and second components for fastener joining at a second factory location.
