Ford’s Assembly Line Impacts the World
Published by Newsletter Pro • www.NewsletterPro.com
FORD’S ASSEMBLY LINE IMPACTS THE WORLD In October 1908, Henry Ford’s Model T was introduced. A self- starting vehicle, the Model T had a left side steering wheel and a four-cylinder engine and was the first affordable car to hit the market. It represented more efficient fabrication via the assembly line, which was launched in 1913 at the Crystal Palace, and it put the whole world on wheels. The assembly line has forever changed the way people operate, live, and work. This invention touched both manufacturing and society. Everything imaginable is built on an assembly line today: cereal, toys, shoes, televisions, bicycles, you name it. PUTTING THE WORLD ON WHEELS
Because the assembly line provided nonstop workflow and more time on task by workers, it successfully took off and now is seen in many companies throughout the world. Employee specialization was made possible and resulted in less waste and a higher quality finished product. Ford revolutionized the world!
The assembly line yielded massive gains in efficiency. When this mass productivity system was born, Ford’s assembly line took automobile production from hours to minutes. What had taken 12.5 hours only took 93 minutes thanks to the assembly line. By increasing productivity, the economy benefited — both profits and wages went up. This mass productivity system created many goods at a lower cost in less time. Likely one of the greatest benefits of the system was that it made the Model T affordable. Ford was able to drop the price from $825 in 1908 to $260 in 1925. This significant price drop was huge for the middle class! At its peak, roughly 48,000 people worked at Crystal Palace. Today, about 500 people are working on the assembly line at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant. The final Model T went down the assembly line on May 26, 1927.
