> The thing Ford was on to was one-job production lines (where each worker does one job-atom and the work moves to the next stage) wasn't it?
IIRC Olds already had a one-job production line, but the line was static and workers had to move around between assemblies. Ford's innovation was to make the workers "static" (with well laid out workspaces) and move the assembly between the jobs.
