  • August 1908: First Ford Model T Completed
    NUMBERS DON’T LIE_BY VACLAV SMIL OPINION The first key step on the car’s road to market dominance was the intro- duction of a moving assembly line in the Highland Park factory in 1913. This brought substantial economies of scale: Already by 1914 the plant was turning out 1,000 automobiles a day. The second step was Ford’s decision to pay unprec- edented wages for unskilled assembly labor. In 1914 the rate was more than doubled to $5 an hour, and the working day was reduced to 8 hours. The outcome was impressive. Ford Motor Co. produced 15 percent of all U.S. cars in 1908, 48 percent in 1914, and 57 percent in 1923. By May 1927, when the production run ended, the company had sold 15 million Model Ts. Ford stood at the very beginning of manufacturing globalization, using standardized procedures and dispers- ing car assembly around the world. Foreign assembly began in Canada and then fanned out to the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, and AUGUST 1908: FIRST FORD Norway, as well as to Mexico, Brazil, and Japan. MODEL T COMPLETED But even though Ford staked much on this one car, it didn’t quite become the best-selling vehicle in history.
