Ford
Fords great strength was the manufacturing process, not invention. Long before he started a car company, he was an inveterate tinker ,known for picking up loose scraps of metal and wire and turning them into ma-chines. Hes been putting cars together since 1891. Although by no means the first popu-lar automobile, the Model T showed the world just how innovative Ford was at combining technology and market.
The companys assembly line alone threw Americas Industrial Revolution into over-drive. Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Fords cronies, who were great tool and die makers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Fords sprawlingHighland Park plant was humming along in 1914, the worlds first automatic con-veyor beltcould turn out a ear every 93 minutes.
The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with what probably stands as his grea-test contribution ever, the $5-a-day minimum wage scheme. The average wage in the auto industry then was $2.34 for a 9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that, he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a guy could be paid that much for doing something that didnt involve an awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Journal called the plan an economic crime, and critics everywhere heaped Fordism with equal scorn.
But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Fords quest to make the automobile accessibleto all. The critics were too stupid to comprehend that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didnt mat-ter except for making it feasiblefor more people to buy cars.

福 特
福特精于制造過程,而不是發明創造。早在創立汽車制造公司之前.他就是一個鍥而不舍的工匠,以收集碎金屬片和金屬絲并將其焊接制成機器而出名。他從1891年就開始裝配汽車。雖然T型車決算不上第一輛受大眾歡迎的汽車,但卻向世界展示了福特在將技術與市場相結合方面是多么的富有創新性。
僅福特公司的裝配線一項就使美國工業革命闊步前進起來。福特的一些密友是來自蘇格蘭的水平高超的工具和模具制造者,他們不再讓工人裝配整輛汽車,而是組成小組,沿流水線為T型汽車裝配零件。到1914年福特占地巨大的Highland Park制造廠機器轟鳴時,世界第一條自動生產流水線每隔93分鐘就能生產出一輛汽車。
同年,亨利福特以其日最低工資5美元的方案震驚了世界,這或許是他迄今為止最大的貢獻。其時,汽車制造業每9小時一班的平均工資為2.34美元。福特不僅使工資翻了一番,還使每個工作日縮減了一小時。在那個年代,不需太多培訓或教育的工作能掙如此之多簡直不可思議。《華爾街日報》把此計劃稱為經濟犯罪,而各地批評人士對福特主義也同樣嗤之以鼻。但是隨著日工資后來提高到10美元,該計劃被證明是福特使所有人都能購買汽車的追求的重要組成部分。那些批評人士太無知,理解不了福特的追求。曲于福特降低了每輛汽車的成本,他不在乎增加工人工資,他在乎的是要讓更多的人覺得買他的汽車是可行的
