The history of assembly lines goes back to shipbuilding by the Venetian Arsenal in 1104. In more modern times, Henry Ford made the method common, starting with the production of the Model T car in 1908. In the automotive business, Ransom E Olds produced his Curved Dash Oldsmobile from an assembly line from 1901- 1907. He mass produced 19,000 cars during that time. This was before Ford's Model T was produced on an improved assembly line starting in 1908.
