I did and found nothing about it. The only story I heard was he got the
idea from a meat packing plant.

Ransom E Olds actually had an assembly line earlier but it was not a
moving line like Ford's.

Why did Ransom E Olds invent the assembly line?
Olds Creates the First Automobile Assembly Line. The first Oldsmobile
logo. The assembly line approach to building automobiles enabled Olds to
more than quintuple his factory's output, from 425 cars in 1901 to 2,500
in 1902, to up to 5000 units in 1904.

Ford and Porsche had a rivalry with race cars, found nothing about the
assembly line.
