What does a slaughterhouse have to do with cars?




More than you'd think! In 1908 Henry Ford’s foreman, William Klann, visited a slaughterhouse seeing the ‘disassembly line’.
He cleverly uses the same principles in reverse to create an ‘assembly’ line for the building of cars.
The idea is to have the parts flow on a line to the workers who are stationary, rather than have the workers travel to each station to complete the cars.

Henry Ford's perfection of the assembly line in 1913, allows what used to take 12.5 man hours to be reduced to 1 hour and 33 minutes. This allows Ford to make cars faster and cheaper than ever before, producing vehicles that were affordable enough to make motor car travel a possibility for everyone, not just the wealthy.
