it speeded up production and made it easier to replace broken parts
He did because the government asked him to make a lot of guns in a short amount of time and he needed a fast way to do it. Thus, interchangeable parts were born.
The purpose for interchangeable parts was so that if one piece on a machine or another contraption broke, it could easily be replaced with the exact same part. Interchangeable parts were made to have the same dimensions as every other part built for the same purpose. This saved money in that, if one thing went out on a piece of machinery, an interchangeable part could simply replace the broken piece instead of having to build an entire new machine. It also helped in creating large numbers of things instead of just a couple at a time.
All of them. Time and money are the only questions. If you don`t know the answer to the question moron then don`t give an answer.
Eli Whitney received a contract from the US Army to produce muskets having interchangeable parts. He fulfilled the contract to the satisfaction of the US Army at that time, delivering the requested quantity of muskets.However in the 1980s several samples of still existing muskets produced under this contract were carefully examined. It was found that they actually had no interchangeable parts, each musket was unique just like those made by other gunmakers of the day!It is believed that Eli Whitney encountered problems with the tooling he had built to make the various parts interchangable and in order to meet the delivery deadlines of the contract just "filed" the parts as needed to make them fit the gun they went into.On other projects where Eli Whitney was under less time pressure he may have succeeded in making interchangeable parts.

Now a days people get no effect, time was the fact.
Eli Whitney had obtained order from American Government in 1798 to produce guns and introduced the concept of standard interchangeable parts to cut down cost & time in production.
Eli Whitney is usually given credit, but Honore Blanc was the first to demonstrate firearms assembled from interchangeable parts about 1778. Twenty years later Whitney performed essentially the same demonstration for the US Congress. Neither of these men were able to mass produce their firearms because the parts were still made by skilled craftsmen. In 1814, Eli Terry began production of a wooden clock but his methods were not adaptable to metal machines. Between 1819 and 1826, John Hall constructed specialized machines to cut, form, and mold metal parts for the M1819 Hall rifle at the Harper's Ferry Arsenal and was the first to mass-produce interchangeable parts. At about the same time, Simeon North created the first milling machine that eliminated much of the hand-filing previously required. North also received a contract from the US Congress to provide M1819 Hall rifles and soon parts from a gun produced in Virginia could be used to repair another produced in Connecticut and vice-versa.
the moving assembly line, interchangeable parts, and the 8-hour workday.
it is the people and the time
Interchangeable parts revolutionized manufacturing by allowing products to be assembled quickly and efficiently, significantly reducing production costs and time. This innovation enabled mass production, leading to increased availability of goods and lower prices for consumers. It also fostered the growth of factories and skilled labor, contributing to the Industrial Revolution and transforming economies from agrarian to industrialized. Ultimately, interchangeable parts laid the foundation for modern manufacturing techniques and supply chains.
