Henry Ford was the American founder of the Ford Motor

Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863. He was the eldest of
William and Mary Ford’s six children. The Fords lived on a farm
near Dearborn, Michigan.
He did not invent automobile. But he did make important
changes to the car industry.

transportation and American industry.
He transformed an agricultural to an industrial America.

4. EarlyYears
Henry began school when he was 7 year old. Each
day, he walked to one-room schoolhouse.
Henry had little interest in his schoolwork. He instead
wanted to study machines and tools on family farm.
He often took apart the farm machines and tools to see
how they worked.
Farm machines were not only things Henry
took apart. Henry enjoyed studying toys and watches.
Henry’s brothers and sisters often hide their new toys from him. They did not want Henry to
take the toys apart and break them. As he was elder, Henry earned money by fixing watches for
his neighbors.
Ford married Clara Ala Bryant in 1888 and supported himself by farming and running a
sawmill.
They had one child: Edsel Ford (1893–1943).

In 1896, Henry Ford test drove his first
invention Quadricycle.He named it as “Ford

8. MovingAssemblyLine
An assembly line is a manufacturing
process in which parts are added to a
product in a sequential manner to create
a finished product much faster than with
handcrafting-type methods.
In the early 1900s, Ford Motor
Company adopted the assembly line to
mass produce the Model T.
Henry Ford was the to master the
assembly line.

9. Ford Airplane Company
• Ford, like other automobile companies, entered the aviation business
during World war I, building Liberty engines. After the war, it returned to auto
manufacturing until 1925, when Ford acquired the Stout Metal Airplane
Company.
• Ford's most successful aircraft was the Ford 4AT Trimotor, often called the "Tin
Goose" because of its corrugated metal construction. It used a new alloy
called Alclad that combined the corrosion resistance of aluminum with the
strength of duralumin. The plane was similar to Fokker's VVII-3m.

10. TheLeader
Henry Ford valued his workers a lot and he showed that by giving an extremely high pay
for all his works in the assembly lines. As a
result, he drew talent from all over the region to work in
Ford Motor Company.
Whatever you do as a leader, if you can show that you value each
and every person on your team, you will attract talent from all
over the place. More than just their salaries, people want to
work in an environment where they feel that they are valued
and an essential part of the organization.
Strive to give your team this sense of value, whether by
means of salary or by recognition. You can be sure that in
the long run, you’ll be drawing strong people into your
organization.

11. Before everything else,
getting ready is the secret
of success
Henry’sQuotes
A business that makes
nothing but money is a
poor business.
You can't learn in school
what the world is going
to do next year.
