An assembly line is a production method where a product is created step by step as it moves along a conveyor or through a series of workstations. Each worker or machine performs a specific task at each stage, and the product is gradually built up. This method is used in many industries to produce goods quickly and efficiently, allowing for mass production. The process is designed to make manufacturing faster, reduce labor costs, and improve consistency and quality in the final product.
