Henry Ford revolutionized automobile production with the assembly line and the affordable Model T. He was fascinated by machinery as a boy and left home to become a machinist. In the 1890s, he began working on gasoline-powered vehicles and founded the Detroit Automobile Company. In 1903, he started the Ford Motor Company to produce affordable cars for ordinary people. The Model T, introduced in 1908, became the best-selling car for 20 years due to its affordability and efficiency. Ford also treated his workers well, paying them higher wages than competitors, and produced cars on an innovative moving assembly line for increased output.

5. Ford Motor Company
 In 1903, Ford started his own company called the Ford Motor
Company.
 He wanted to make cars that the ordinary person, like you
and me, could afford.
 On October 1, 1908, after lots of hard work, Ford introduced
his new car. It was called the Model T.

6.  Henry wanted to build more cars in a faster way.
 So in 1913-1914, Henry and his engineers designed
conveyor belts that ran down long tables carrying parts and
pieces that needed to be put together.
 This allowed him to produce more cars in a shorter amount
of time.

7. • Ford, like other automobile companies, entered the
aviation business during World War I, building Liberty
engines.

8.  Ford knew that success of a company lies in the happiness of
the workers, which then were treated as slaves.
 His workers were well-paid and well-treated. They were
proud to work at the Ford Motor Company.
 He said: “A business that makes nothing but money is a poor
business.”

9.  The Model T was
introduced on October 1,
1908, it was best selling
car for 20 years.

• Did not invent the horseless carriage
• Did not invent the internal combustion engine
• Did not invent mass production of car strategy

12. What should we learn from
Ford?
• Innovation = Success, but Innovation without execution is
just hallucination.
• Great entrepreneurs not only put ideas in motion but they
commit to them mentally as well.
• Know Your Market: how you engage with potential clients
and customers is just as relevant.
• Reputation, Reputation, Reputation
• Efficiency is King
• Move Toward Your Goals
