Today almost all brands have done their production activities at the plant with a more systematic . But it turns out , the first brand which adopted the moving assembly system which is now adopted almost every brand is Ford .
In the moving assembly systems , cars are assembled in the production line where each worker installing car parts separately before passed to another worker who put in front of another part . When he reached the threshold , the car has been finished assembled .
The method has been made Ford one century ago this was a method of mass production of the car was then considered the most efficient method and was later adopted by almost all the brands in the world .
" A hundred years ago , my great-grandfather had a vision to build a safe and efficient transportation for everyone , " said Bill Ford , Ford's executive chairman .
" The core principles of Henry Ford that quality components , workflow , and efficiency of the division of labor is still relevant today . Taking advantage of that tradition , we accelerate efforts to standardize production , creating a more flexible production facilities and introducing advanced technologies to efficiently produce vehicles best at the best value to our customers wherever they are , " said John Fleming , Ford executive vice president of Global Manufacturing .
With this system in 2013, Ford is also expected to produce 6 million vehicles , or about 16 vehicles every 60 seconds ( 1 minute ) around the world .
This October , moving production method has touched the life of 100 years after a hundred years ago , Henry Ford and his team at Highland Park assembly facility run first moving assembly lines in the world .
This innovation simplifies component assembly 3000 Ford Model T to break it down into 84 different steps are performed by the same group of workers , with pull straps on the vehicle chassis assembly lines .
This new process is revolutionizing the production and reduce the assembly time for one vehicle from 12 hours to about 90 minutes .
By reducing the money , time and manpower needed to build along with Henry Ford's automobile assembly lines improve over the years , Ford is able to lower the price of Model T from $ 850 to less than $ 300 .
And for the first time in history , quality vehicles become affordable for the community . Finally , Ford is producing a Model T every 24 seconds and managed to sell over 15 million units worldwide in 1927 , approximately half of all cars sold at that time .
" Ford's new approach spread rapidly , not only to other car manufacturers , but also to record producers , vacuum cleaners , refrigerators and other consumer goods , " said Bob Casey , a former curator of transportation at The Henry Ford , and author of The Model T : A Centennial History .
In 1914 , Ford set a " daily wage of $ 5 " , a significant wage at the time, to allow employees to buy vehicles they produce . This step creates loyalty among workers and acclaimed Ford raises new middle-class consumers who are not hindered by geographical boundaries , free to travel on the open road , live wherever they want and pursue the dream of " America ".
