Business Trivia Question 1

Which company created the "assembly line?"

a. General Motors
b. Walmart
c. Ford Motors
d. Chrysler

The answer is C! Ford Motors

Okay so the concept of an assembly line wasn't exactly created by one person at one point in history, in fact the concept has been in use in one way or another since about 215 BC when Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi commissioned The Terracotta Army, a collection of about 8000 life-sized clay soldiers and horses buried with him. But it was Ford Motors' use of the assembly line to produce the Model T that had tremendous impact on the world, so the company is credited with the creation of the modern assembly line process.

Stay curious,
