Ford's Moving Assembly Line (1915)


The invention of the automobile was major step towards modernization.  However, the automobile was not affordable for everyone.  Henry Ford had a dream of making the automobile affordable to everyone.  He acheived this goal by creating the moveable assembly line.  Ford was able to produce cars at a faster rate and as a result, he could lower the prices of his cars.  Ford's method of production was so successful that it began to spread worldwide.  There was a Ford France, Ford Germany, Ford Britain, and Ford Denmark.  Eventually businesses were forced to have assembly lines because they would go bankrupt without one.
