Detailed explanation-1: -First sold in 1908, Henry Ford’s Model T was sturdy, reliable, and easy to drive. In 1913, it became the first car to be mass-produced in a factory on a moving assembly line. At the peak of production, up to 10, 000 cars left the factory each day, bringing the price down to a level that ordinary people could afford.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The assembly line sped up the manufacturing process dramatically. It allowed factories to churn out products at a remarkable rate, and also managed to reduce labor hours necessary to complete a product-benefiting many workers who used to spend 10 to 12 hours a day in the factory trying to meet quotas.
Detailed explanation-4: -The moving assembly line was developed for the Ford Model T and began operation on October 7, 1913, at the Highland Park Ford Plant, and continued to evolve after that, using time and motion study.
