Systems and methods are provided for assembling a structure (120). The systems and method including micro pulsing (181) a structure along a track (110) in a process direction (199) by less than a length (196) of the structure. The structure is indexed (129) to one or more work stations (140) by mating indexing features (124) in a manufacturing excess (125,170,180) of the structure to complementary indexing features (134) at the work stations (140). The work stations would the perform work on the structure at the work stations while the structure is indexed to the work stations. Iteratively repeating the micro pulsing (181) and indexing (129) upon the structure (120) until it is ready to advance to the next assembly process.
