Monday, April 7th Think back to the assembly line activity we

did on Friday. Write a haiku for me that sums up your experiences

The Model ‘T’ Ford

Henry Ford set out to build a car that everyone could afford to buy.

It was slow, ugly, and difficult to drive.

The Model ‘T’ FordThe attraction of the

Model T Ford was that its price never increased—so it was affordable for the average American!

Costing $1200 in 1909, the price in 1928 was only $295 (that’s $3,500.00 in today’s dollars!).

By 1929 Ford was producing more than one car per minute.

Mass ProductionFord was able to sell cars cheaply because

they were mass-produced and every part was Standardized (only one color and one engine size were available).

By producing large numbers of cars on an Assembly Line, Ford needed/wanted fewer skilled workers. Why?

Division of Labor- The product was placed

on the line, and each worker completed a single, specialized task over and over again.

- Because the product came to the workers, their work required very little movement.

- This process is called the specialization of labor.

Mass Production

Mass Production

Ford invented the idea of using an Assembly Line to speed up production.

Assembly Lines ‘… each man and each

machine do only one thing ... the thing is to keep everything in motion and take the work to the man, not the man to the work’

Henry Ford 1925

Quote – Henry Ford

How would this have helped to cut production costs?

‘A customer can have any color he likes for his car so long as it's black’
