invention of the electric motor which created cheaper, more powerful, and safer automobiles. Still the automobile still had numerous problems and were mainly in the hands of the rich. It was the development of the internal combustion engine and the assembly line that was truly able to create a practical vehicle that could be used by all and propelled the automobile into the heart of American culture and made it one of the most significant inventions of the post-industrial revolution era, resulting in a

its most basic level, power means “A has power over B to the extent that [A] can get B to do something B would not otherwise do.” (Hatch, 2013, p. 231). And at any level, whether individual, group, or organizational, power assumes a contextual relationship. Hatch (2013) discusses several forms of relational power: (1) formal authority, which emanates from a hierarchal structure by which the power flows downward from those with the greatest authority; (2) counter-balancing power, by which those below
Industrial Revolution when Henry Ford founded The Ford Motor Company. Ford’s family had a part in the company with ideas and presidency. The first ideas of the company came out of Ford’s backyard with him using a bicycle to make a vehicle. The assembly line had a big impact that affected other companies by making production much faster. A wide variety of vehicles made patrons be interested in seeing what kind of inventions could be made next. Ford had a lot of great inventions still used today, like
manufactured standard parts and sub-assemblies that are assembled according to an individual customer’s order. Thus ATO is an order driven production strategy where products are produced once an order is received and shipped immediately thereafter. Previously, it has been also referred to as delayed product differentiation, a form postponement [48], implemented in assembly systems to defer the differentiation of final product configurations. In a mixed-product assembly, the points of product differentiation

lived and worked, this revolution helped bring about the modern world we know today. The Industrial Revolution was a major change in the nature of production in which machines replaced tools and steam and other energy sources replaced human and animal power. The Industrial Revolution began in England in the middle of the 1700’s, during this time workers became more productive, items were manufactured thus, making hard to make items available to the working and lower class. One could argue that this allowed
manufacturing process was great. The assembly line for the Model T was introduced on December 1, 1913, and with its creation, the automobile industry was industrialized, thus spreading a new concept of manufacturing worldwide. Henry Ford’s goal when he created his Model T was to create a both sturdy and affordable automobile. To accomplish this, the assembly line was created, using interchangeable parts between models, and limiting color options to only black. The assembly line consisted of 84 steps, making
