Assembly Line
|
Detailed explanation-1: -What made this assembly line unique was the movement element. 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: -Forget the Model T-Ford’s real innovation was the moving assembly line. It didn’t just usher in the age of the car; it changed work forever. He first fully implemented his innovation on December 1, 1913.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ford was inspired by the meat-packing houses of Chicago and a grain mill conveyor belt he had seen. If he brought the work to the workers, they spent less time moving about. Then he divided the labor by breaking the assembly of the Model T into 84 distinct steps. Each worker was trained to do just one of these steps.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Model T was introduced to the world in 1908. Henry Ford wanted the Model T to be affordable, simple to operate, and durable. The vehicle was one of the first mass production vehicles, allowing Ford to achieve his aim of manufacturing the universal car.
