RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Ford Motor Company team decided to try to implement the moving assembly line in the automobile manufacturing process. After much trial and error, in 1913 Henry Ford and his employees successfully began using this innovation at our Highland Park assembly plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ford’s 1913 professional assembly line allowed automobile parts to travel to the worker instead of the other way around. According to Ford, the invention reduced chassis production time from 12 hours and 8 minutes to 1 hour and 33 minutes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first Ford assembly line at the Highland Park, Michigan plant was relatively crude. Here, in 1913, workers put V-shaped magnets on Model T flywheels to make one-half of the flywheel magneto. Each worker installed a few parts and simply shoved the flywheel down the line to the next worker.
