. A well-known pioneer of mass production was the car manufacturer, ‘Henry Ford’. . He adopted an assembly line technique of a slaughter house. . He realised that the ‘assembly line’ method would allow a faster and cheaper way of producing vehicles. . This method forced workers to repeat a single task mechanically and continuously. 0 This was a way of increasing the output per worker by speeding up the pace of work. . At first, workers were unable to cope with the load of work but Henry Ford doubled the daily wages. . This doubling of daily wages was considered ‘best cost-cutting decision’ he had ever made. . Later, this system of mass production was followed by many other countries. In the US, with this system, car production rose from 2 millions to above 5 millions.
