Pros and cons of assembly line production

There is no doubt that it greatly improves production efficiency and brings more lucrative economic benefits. The product processing process is divided into a number of processes, relatively centralized operation of a product, changing the past manual processing or machine alone scattered processing of inefficient production methods, batch production effectively reduce costs and improve efficiency. Workers have a clear division of labor and responsibilities, which is conducive to improving management efficiency. Each worker directly engaged in assembly line production is only responsible for their own part of the work, thus reducing the quality of the operator requirements, reducing labor costs. Improvement of production efficiency and cost reduction naturally brings great benefits to the owner of the enterprise. And because of the mechanized production, can be manufactured in a short period of time relatively more many products, some of the original very rare products have become common, to the people's life to bring a lot of convenience.

However, the assembly line is also a nightmare for many workers. In order to maximize short-term profits, some enterprises exploit and squeeze workers.
