The introduction of interchangeable parts and the division of labor were key factors that led most directly to assembly-line production. Interchangeable parts allowed for efficient production of standardized components, while dividing tasks among workers enabled faster and more specialized assembly processes. These developments were further optimized by Henry Ford's implementation of the moving assembly line in his automobile factories.

The impact that interchangeable parts had on the Industrial Revolution and even way after that was that it made each product that was assumed to be the same product was going to look, work, and act in the same way. Interchangeable parts was invented by Eli Whitney in 1798. This invention then led to assembly lines. An assembly line is simply that each person in a line of people have a part different from all of the other parts. The product or object is passed through a line of people and each person adds a part to the product. The part that they are adding is the interchangeable part.
Exactly that...that one invention leads to another invention. For example. The invention of the car, led to the invention of the assembly line
Henry Ford is often credited with popularizing the modern assembly line, but he did not invent the concept. The assembly line's development can be attributed to earlier innovations by figures like Eli Whitney, who introduced interchangeable parts, and Ransom Olds, who implemented assembly line techniques in the early 1900s. Therefore, anyone not involved in these advancements, such as Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell, would not be related to the development of the modern assembly line.
Eli Whitney's interchangeable parts made factory assembly lines possible.
The invention of the assembly line made mass production of the automobile possible without requiring specially trained workers.

Eli Whitney's invention of interchangeable parts revolutionized manufacturing by allowing for the mass production of weapons and supplies, which significantly boosted the Union's war effort during the Civil War. This system enabled the rapid assembly and repair of firearms and equipment, ensuring that Union troops were better equipped and maintained than their Southern counterparts. Additionally, the North's industrial capacity, enhanced by interchangeable parts, facilitated the efficient production and transportation of military resources, contributing to the Union's eventual victory.
