Detailed explanation-1: -On December 1, 1913, Henry Ford installs the first moving assembly line for the mass production of an entire automobile. His innovation reduced the time it took to build a car from more than 12 hours to one hour and 33 minutes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ford’s greatest contribution to the automobile industry was the development of the moving assembly line. After much experimentation, Ford implemented the system in 1913 at its new plant in Highland Park, MI.
