Why was Henry ford able to build cars that the average American could afford?
Assembly line mode of production and the use of inexpensive parts installed on a simple , easy to build vehicle.
How did Henry fords Model T change the world?
it was the first car to ever be produced on an assembly line, and it was affordable to almost every family.
It was not marketing that sold the car. It sold because it was affordable, easy to maintain, and was well suited for the horrible roads of that time. The Model T was cost far less than any other car of the time and it got less expensive each and every year of production.
What did Henry Ford invent in1908 and 1913?
On 12/1/1913 Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line for the mass production of an entire automobile, the Model T.
What did Henry Ford do during the 1920s?
i think he was trying to try to to to to to to to try to make a new car
Why did ford stop building the model t?
The Model T had become out of date. When it was built in 1908 there were very few paved roads in the U.S. and most were either dirt or gravel. The Model T fit those type roads well with it's high ground clearance and rugged build. It would go just about anywhere. Times changed and roads were paved. People wanted a better riding car that was much faster than the Model Ts top speed of around 40-45 mph and it's measly 20 H.P. It was built from 1908 until 1927 and was basically the very same car except for minor changes. No model has lasted any longer than the Model Ts 19 year run with almost no changes. Ford came out with the Model A which was a great improvement over the Model T. It was faster, had more power, road better, and was a vast improvement.
Is the invention that Henry ford did is still used today and in what way?
Henry Ford's most important invention was the mass production assembly line. It reduced the cost of automobile production to the point that cars became available to almost every American family. As other consumer products adapted the concept of Henry Ford's mass production, prices fell and living standards improved for everyone.
What was Henry Ford's biggest mistake?
Henry Ford's biggest mistake was making an anti-semitic advertisment for his company (Ford Motor Company).
What is Henry Ford's leadership style?
If not.It was for making a new way to travel and not take days,weeks,months.
Yes, for the model T and the invention of the assembly line.
Thats kind of a matter of opinion. But he did push factories to their modern efficiency.
Why did Ford invent the assembly line?

What are 4 character traits of Charles Goodyear?

How are today's cars made differently from Henry Ford's cars?
Ford was probably the first to implement "Assembly line" production in the car manufacturing business, the development of assembly line method of production is arguably attributed to Ford.
Now most cars made today follow the same basic method, except for some high-end manufacturers, most of how produce a limited number of cars annually(~20 per annum is a fair guess ), what has changed though is the technology advancement of the decades since Ford first implemented the idea.
Initially assembly line allowed for easier transport of product parts through the company passing from being a raw material to a finished product much faster and more efficiently than possible before that time.
What has change is that in the times the assembly line passed through people doing the work , for example workers fixing the windshield and what not, while today its much more automatized with robotic hands doing most of the work.
In one sentence, the change was that previously the transport of the product was automatized while today most of the production is.
Also a notable change, is the use of new materials and technologies ( take the wind tunnel for example, a method of measuring air resistance in relation to the shape of the car ) that were not available before.
What typically results from the introduction of the assembly line into production process?
B. Efficiency is increased.
What was Henry Ford interested in?
