On 1 December 1913, the Ford Motor Company revolutionised industrial production by implementing the world's first moving assembly line for its Model T Ford.

This innovation, conceived to enhance efficiency and reduce production costs, fundamentally transformed the automobile industry and modern manufacturing at large.
