Detailed explanation-1: -Henry Ford was able to make improvements to the production line by using machines that were used to produce parts quicker and at a lower cost, using interchangeable parts so all parts of the Model T were the same, and reduced employee turnover by paying workers double the industry standard in wages.
Detailed explanation-2: -Impact of the Assembly Line on Workers Although hours were cut, workers did not suffer from lower wages; instead, Ford nearly doubled the existing industry-standard wage and began paying his workers $5 a day. Ford’s gamble paid off-his workers soon used some of their pay increases to purchase their own Model Ts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Assembly lines, on the other hand, have workers (or machines) complete a specific task on the product as it continues along the production line rather than complete a series of tasks. This increases efficiency by maximizing the amount a worker could produce relative to the cost of labor.
