Assembly line
An assembly line is an industrial arrangement of machines, equipment, and workers for continuous flow of workpieces in  mass production operations. An assembly line is designed by determining the sequences of operations for manufacture of each product component as well as the final product. Each movement of material is made as simple and short as possible with no cross flow or backtracking. Work assignments, numbers of machines, and production rates are programmed so that all operations performed along the line are compatible.
