This technique is proven to increase the productivity of Henry Ford’s workers. What technique is this?

A	The principle of scientific management

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Ford had been trying to increase his factories’ productivity for years. The workers who built his Model N cars (the Model T’s predecessor) arranged the parts in a row on the floor, put the under-construction auto on skids and dragged it down the line as they worked.

Detailed explanation-2: -Just-in-Time Manufacturing – Ford knew the importance of not creating large amounts of inventory and managed his supply chain to have enough materials on-hand to manufacturing his cars based on demand.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vehicle was one of the first mass production vehicles, allowing Ford to achieve his aim of manufacturing the universal car. The Model T was manufactured on the Ford Motor Company’s moving assembly line at Ford’s revolutionary Highland Park Plant.
