Henry Ford's Model T Changed Car Manufactory | 1MinuteDoc

Simple, reliable, affordable.
Henry Ford’s family car: The model-T.
In 1908 cars were expensive.
Manual production required highly skilled workers.
At first the model-T was also hand-assembled.
When demand exceeded supply, manual production couldn’t cope.
Henry extensively mechanized the assembly line.
This reduced job complexity and skill requirement.
Production time reduced by 88%!
It took just 93 minutes to assemble one model-T.
Production peaked at 10,000 cars per day; two million a year.
From 1908 to 1927 Ford sold 16.5 million model-Ts
Ford was selling more cars than everyone else combined!
The simple design spawned a range of mods; from motorboats to aircraft.
Spin-offs like Harry Ferguson started-off with model-T tractor conversions.
Chevrolet brothers began by building racing engines from model-T blocks.
In 1914 Henry ford stopped the car’s evolution.
Other companies began offering comfort and style at attractive prices.
Gradually but surely they overtook the unchanging model-T.
Henry Ford’s legendary production approach created the car of the century.
His resistance to evolution and change caused its decline.
