MOVING ASSEMBLY LINE DEBUTED IN 1913

October 7, 1913 Moving assembly line debuts at Ford factory“For the first time, Henry Ford ...



For the first time, Henry Ford’s entire Highland Park,
Michigan automobile factory is run on a continuously
moving assembly
line when the chassis, the automobile’s
frame is assembled
using the revolutionary industrial
technique.          

       
A motor and rope pulled the chassis past workers and
parts on the factory floor, cutting the man-hours required
to complete one “Model T.”    

Within a year, further assembly line improvements reduced   
productivity effected by Ford’s use of the moving assembly
line allowed him to drastically reduce the cost of the
Model T.
