Henry Ford is often credited with establishing the first assembly line for his Model T, however, all he did was improve it by using conveyor belts. The TRUE inventor was Ransom E Olds. Mr.Olds invented the assembly line in 1901.

Actually it was introduced to the automobile industry by Ransom E. Olds but thanks i was getting sick of Ford getting all our credit and the other guys
It was developed by the Ford Motor Company, namely, Henry Ford.
The assembly line concept was not "invented" at one time by one person. It has been independently redeveloped throughout history based on logic. Accelerated development at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century occurred among various people over decades as other aspects of technology allowed (most notable Americans were Ransom Eli Olds, Samuel Colt, and lastly, Henry Ford). (see wikipedia.com)

Example from Wikipedia :

The Terracotta Army (circa 215 BC)
The Terracotta Army commissioned by the first Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi is a collection of about 8000 life-sized clay soldiers and horses buried with the emperor. The figures had their separate body parts manufactured by different workshops that were later assembled to completion. Notably, each workshop inscribed its name on the part they manufactured to add traceability for quality construction.
