Henry Ford and mass production

Henry Ford and mass production.

Henry Ford created the mass production car company, Ford, which introduced a new and efficient way of manufacturing.

1. Henry Ford's factories used the assembly line system, which divided manufacturing tasks among groups of workers spaced alongside a moving belt. This increased production efficiency, which, in turn, decreased car prices dramatically. 
2. Cars began to become much more affordable, with the standard model costing around $300 ($4000 today).
3. The jobs of 1 in 12 people were linked to car production, and, by 1929, there was once car for every five Americans.
4. Car production helped the economy greatly, and boosted other industries such as steel, petrol, chemical, glass and rubber industries.
