I would take that to mean a situation where there is an engine assembly line owned by the engine manufacturer (in Michigan perhaps), and subassemblies are done elsewhere (such as piston/rings/pin/rod being sub'd at the piston supplier, perhaps in Tennessee). The whole P/R/R/L gets dropped into the engine in Michigan, and while the PRRL was done on an assembly line, it was done "off-line" from the perspective of the Michigan facility.
