He came up with the idea of interchangeable parts.
Eli Whitney thought of the idea of interchangeable parts. The idea is that if something is broken it can be replaces by an identical piece.
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.
Eli Whitney designed and built the Cotton Gin which made cotton production twice as fast. So factory owners could buy "Gins' and pay low level workers like women and children to work the machines and produce cotton.
Eli Whitney tried to develop a system of interchangeable parts to the manufacturing of guns. His idea was embraced by the United States government, but a practical method of production could not be established at the time.
