Detailed explanation-1: -The Ford Motor Company’s manufacturing methods allowed it to cut the price of automobiles dramatically, and because more Americans could now afford a car, sales skyrocketed and Ford soon dominated the industry.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ford’s innovation lay in his use of mass production to manufacture automobiles. He revolutionized industrial work by perfecting the assembly line, which enabled him to lower the Model T’s price from $850 in 1908 to $300 in 1924, making car ownership a real possibility for a large share of the population.
Detailed explanation-3: -Henry Ford’s use of the moving assembly line allowed the Ford Motor Company to mass produce affordable cars which average Americans could afford to buy.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
