assembly line of cars
-
In 1913, Henry Ford (1863–1947) began to use the assembly line at his Ford Motor Company in Highland Park, Michigan.
using the assembly line method Ford managed to take the time to make cars from 12 hours to just 2 hours and 30 minutes.
-
an arrangement of machines, tools, and workers in which a product is assembled by having one person perform a specific task on a incomplete item as it passes by him and moves to the next person who adds his specific task. creating the final piece.
its more efficient because the time that it used to take Ford to make ONE car he can now make five and a half cars.
with it only taking 2 and a half hours to build a car they will become less expensive and more people can get one.
at first Ford only used the assembly line method for the flywheel magneto, a part of the automobile's electrical system.
my dad works for a lumber company and they use a assembly line as well. it has helped his business and made life for him. one thing on the assembly line is a machine stamper. it costs 250 dollars to build that stamper. before that he was paying someone 22,000 dolars a year to stamp his lumber.
