Importance Of Assembly Line

The assembly line and its consequence upon humanity.

The core concept of the assembly line is that production involves materials, and people, and that by moving either materials or people, the speed of assembling the manufactured good from various processed materials can be increased. And the application of this study, benefits humanity in a variety of ways, such as when applied to slaughterhouses and bakeries, bread and meat can be processed from grains and carcasses to feed more people and faster. Such increase in production is good for the economy, as total-costs are divided between fixed costs such as tools and variable costs such as goods sold are covered by the sheer amount of goods produced, and consumed by the populace, such to a

Traditionally, before the Industrial revolutions, the method of production was cottage or guild industries, where production is decentralized and done in workshops of various sizes in various distances from resources and materials, and the work was done by several skilled labours aided by their apprentice or assistants. The main faults of this method can be seen in several areas, such as the need to train skilled labours skilled a multitude of fields, or despite the division of labour the processing of raw materials into useful materials and assembling the finished product takes time due to the skilled nature of the work, or the distances between each station of work is organized in an inefficient arrangement, or just the lack of hands doing the work due to the training needed. Modern production lines, the Henry Ford assembly line, which is an example of such a production/assembly line, fixes these issues through mechanization, sub-dividing divided work, and arranging the people, materials, tools, and assembly sites in such a way to increase
