Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Much of the credit for bringing these early concepts together in a coherent form, and creating the modern, integrated, mass production operation, belongs to the U.S. industrialist Henry Ford and his colleagues at the Ford Motor Company, where in 1913 a moving-belt conveyor was used in the assembly of flywheel magnetos.

Detailed explanation-2: -Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Co., developed the assembly line technique of mass production in 1913.

Detailed explanation-3: -Henry Ford While Ford was not the inventor of the motor car, he is credited with developing mass production techniques, such as the assembly line, which have helped reduce production costs. Instead of manufacturing a few units a month, Ford’s plants could complete hundreds of cars per day.

Detailed explanation-4: -After much trial and error, in 1913 Henry Ford and his employees successfully began using this innovation at our Highland Park assembly plant. What made this assembly line unique was the movement element.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
