Ford’s assembly-line, mass production system and Toyota’s system of lean production were the two process innovations that transformed the manufacture of automobiles during the 20th century.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Identify the improvement that Henry Ford made to his method of mass production and its resulting efficiencies, which led to automobiles being within reach of ordinary Americans.Click or tap a choice to answer the question.Ford’s factory adopted the moving assembly line, by which car frames were brought to workers on a continuously moving conveyer belt, consequently reducing the amount of time it took to build each car.Ford developed the “single-point” assembly method in which the car frames were “parked,” and workers brought all the necessary parts to the vehicle being built, consequently reducing the amount of time it took to build each car.Ford implemented a robotic steam-driven assembly system that drastically reduced the number of employees necessary to build a car.

Identify the enabler of mass assembly line production systems that evolved in the early 20th century.  A. The wheel  B. Steam engines  C. New energy resources  D. Internet
