The Assembly Line
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Henry Ford famously remarked that the use of the moving assembly line allowed for the work to be taken to workers rather than the worker moving to and around the vehicle. The vehicle began to be pulled down the line and built step-by-step.
Detailed explanation-2: -Assembly lines are the most commonly used mass production method. Assembly lines reduce labor costs because unskilled workers are trained to perform specific tasks rather than build an entire product unit.
Detailed explanation-3: -Highland Park was the birthplace of Ford’s moving assembly line, which led to mass production of the iconic Model T. In September of 1907, Henry Ford purchased a 130-acre tract of land in Highland Park, Michigan where Ford Motor Company would build the factory that helped to put the world on wheels.
