Assembly line production is a manufacturing process where a product is assembled in a sequential manner, with each worker or machine performing a specific task. This method enhances efficiency and reduces production time, allowing for the mass production of goods such as automobiles and electronics. The concept was popularized by Henry Ford in the early 20th century, revolutionizing the way products were made. By breaking down the assembly process into smaller, manageable tasks, companies can produce large quantities of items while maintaining quality and consistency.
