Types of Manufacturing System
a) Assembly line
A manufacturing tool, first made popular by
Henry Ford in his manufacturing of
automobiles. The principle of an assembly line
is that each worker is assigned one very
specific task, which he or she simply repeats,
and then the process moves to the next worker
who does his or her task, until the task is
complete and the product is made. It is a way
to mass produce goods quickly and efficiently.
All workers do not have to be human; robotic
workers can make up an assembly line as well.
