Assembly+Line

The Assembly Line was developed following the Industrial Revolution of the "long 19th century". A means of mass production, the assembly line was a manufacturing technique in which a product could be quickly assembled as parts were added in a sequential manner as it moved down the line. Generally interchangeable parts were used. The rate of production was drastically increased in comparison to handcrafting each unit, leading to more products and higher income. Assembly lines are still used in manufacturing today.
