In this EconEdLink lesson, students discern how an assembly line works, reinforcing the underlying principles such as interdependence, specialization and division of labor. Students will be able to explain why an assembly line makes the production process more efficient and faster than working alone. The students will be able to explain what happens when one member either can not do the job or is not there and the impact it has upon production. This lesson incorporates student handouts, interactives, and links to a variety of web resources.
