People often credit Henry Ford with inventing the automobile and the assembly line. In fact, he did neither! What Mr. Ford actually did was change the way manufacturers operate. Henry Ford brought together many innovative ideas that helped revolutionize mass production. When Henry Ford incorporated the Ford Motor Company in 1903, automobiles were expensive; Workers at the Ford factory in Detroit produced just a few cars a day. Henry Ford's ambition was to make “a motor car for the great multitude. He believed the way to do this was to manufacture one model in huge quantities.
Ford and his company's engineers designed a car named the Model T. First offered for sale in 1908, the Model T was produced like other cars one vehicle at a time. But the Model T was more sturdy and powerful than other cars as a result 10,000 autos were sold the first year more than any other model.
But the operational genius came in the form of The Moving Assembly Line Henry Ford realized that a more efficient production process was needed to lower the price and meet increasing consumer demand. He travelled the world to get the answer and finally he found a technique where he manufactured all the parts of certain standard, so that any pieces would fit with all others like any valve would fit any engine and any engine would fit any frame. This standardization of parts made it possible to break down assembly of the Model T into distinct steps & Each worker was trained to do just one step.
In 1913, the Ford Motor Company established the first moving assembly line ever used for large-scale manufacturing. Parts were attached to a moving Model T chassis starting from axles to bodies at the end of the line. Some components took longer to put together and attach than others, so Sub assemblies were established for these. For example, each radiator with all its hose fittings was put together on a separate line and later feeding into the main assembly line. The interval between delivery of the
