1. A method of kitting parts for a manufacturing process, the method comprising:

  • (a) sequentially transferring a first predetermined selection of parts from a supply of parts from a part supply structure to a part staging structure by a first robotic transfer device, wherein the supply of parts has two or more sets of distinct parts held by the part supply structure;

    (b) sequentially transferring the first predetermined selection of parts from the part staging structure to a first manufacturing kit holder by a second robotic transfer device, the first manufacturing kit holder with the first predetermined selection of parts defining a first kitted holder;

    (c) concurrently with (b), sequentially transferring a second predetermined selection of parts from the supply of parts from the part supply structure to the part staging structure by the first robotic transfer device; and

    (d) subsequent to (b), sequentially transferring the second predetermined selection of parts from the part staging structure to a second manufacturing kit holder by the second robotic transfer device, the second manufacturing kit holder with the second predetermined selection of parts defining a second kitted holder.
