“You can color your hair and make it black!
That’s just a look, not a life hack!
So wisdom is not dependent on your hair which is white!
But by the experience, knowledge and your foresight!”
It’s better to feel wise after a fool’s day!
In the early 20th century, a groundbreaking innovation changed the landscape of manufacturing forever: the assembly line. In this system, a product moves along a line, with each worker performing a specific task, ultimately leading to the completion of the final product. It broke down complex processes into smaller, specialized tasks!
In fact the assembly line is the cornerstone of efficiency and professionalism.
While the assembly line is synonymous with Henry Ford and Model T cars, he built upon others’ work. So who invented the assembly line? The concept actually dates back to at least the Industrial Revolution! But if you stick to the modern definition then get ready to pay a ransom!
Sorry for that pun! The credit is often given to Ransom Eli Olds!
Ransom is one of the forgotten masters of the early century, the man most credited with bringing mass-production to Detroit and largely establishing the auto industry. The Oldsmobile Curved Dash was, for a time during the nineteen-ought’s, the best-selling car in America and is considered the first mass-produced vehicles in history, selling 5,000 units in 1904! When it involves such a huge number then it is understood that there was some kind of mass production system behind it!
Ransom put in place much of what we recognize as the modern assembly line today, defined repetitive operations, fixed stations and parts delivered to the worker!
By 1905 Olds had moved back to Lansing and was building 5,000 cars a year!
So why does the credit for the invention of the assembly line often goes to Henry Ford! It is because of one very critical addition, Ford put the cars on a conveyor of sorts, creating the all-important moving assembly line! Now there may be a doubt on who started the assembly line but there is no doubt that birthday celebrity
Devika Rani Chaudhuri is the first lady superstar of Indian cinema!
Now take a break from the assembly line of life and sleep!
Shubh Ratri…
