单词 | assembly line |
释义 | assembly line A device moving a good being produced, for example a car, past a sequence of workers or machines. As it passes each work-station, a particular task is performed. Tasks may include adding components, working on components already in place, or checking the work of earlier stages. Assembly-line production allows economies of scale, by keeping down the time needed to move workers or machines from one task to another. Under this system no task can be done until the one before is finished, so that breakdowns of machines, non-arrival of inputs, or the absence of any worker may hold up the entire process. Responsibility for the quality of the end-product is very widely spread, which may make it difficult to locate the cause of defects or to motivate workers to prevent them. |
