Introduction
Ford has applied assemble chain by JIT in 1930s. Henry Ford is one who created JIT concept. But JIT has been applied and perfected in manufacture in early 1970 in Japan after World War II. JIT is also known as Toyota production system. JIT was first developed and become perfected in Toyota manufacture by Taiichi Ohno who can be knows as father of JIT then it spread to over the world (Kootanaee et al, 2013). Nowadays, there are many companies using JIT (Just in Time) concept to operate in their manufacturing. JIT have been successful in many countries especially this concept succeed in Japanese industry like car industries and computer after that it spreads to many countries in around the world such as United States. JIT brings many benefits and advantages to the firm whereas, it also brings some disadvantages. Therefore, it is important to define Just in Time theory. According to Bozarth & Handfield JIT is the philosophy of manufacturing which have planned to eliminate all the wastes and keep on improving productivity. This concept can be applied to all manufacture and to many services industries (Bozarth & Handfield, 2008). This definition refer to JIT can eliminate of wastes to deliver good products and services at the exactly time with necessary quantity at necessary time in order to minimize amount of resources which included time. JIT also indicated to quality management in certain firm.

Henry Ford founded the Ford car company and developed the assembly line. Henry ford invented the Ford Model T car. The Ford Model T was invented in 1908, and was the original car that Henry Ford manufactured using the assembly line. Henry Ford invented the assembly line, which allowed the mass production of products to become cheaper than building an entire object at the same time. Ford perfected the assembly line for the use of mass producing automobiles for a much cheaper price.
Henry succeeded when he created the Model T. The Model T was reliable and cheaper to make that the Model A. The Model T went on the market in 1908 and was an instant success. Ford Motors Co. couldn’t keep up with the orders that were being placed for the Model T. It seemed that their success had
Ford had made two failing attempts at starting a company before finally getting it right with his third attempt. When Ford finally got the T-Model out and on shelves the request was so great and overwhelming, it forced ford to come up with a new type of assembly line. Donald
After much trial and error, in 1913 Henry Ford and his employees successfully began using this innovation at our Highland
“Inspired by the continuous-flow production methods used by flour mills, breweries, canneries and industrial bakeries, along with the disassembly of animal carcasses in Chicago’s meat-packing plants”(“Ford's assembly line starts rolling” 1). This quote proves that the methods they were trying to use, was to make the assembly line possible. If it were not for all the production methods they had to offer, they would not have been able to continue this process. During this time while working they had to manage the amount of hours they had to
The audience is students and factory workers as well as future students and people who are considering working at a factory. A challenge can be recruiting an audience to go pursue a higher education. The audience can resonate with their life they actually live, and see what opportunities they have to create a better life and the importance on how education can change one’s life. My goal is to emphasize my opinion on the article "Some Lessons From The Assembly Line”.
To: Richard Sullivan From: Team Odyssey Date: 15 January 1992 Subject: Detroit Plant- Heavy Equipment Division Wriston Manufacturing Corporation is loosing sales from last three years. This has put pressure on its HED to perform well. With nine plants on stream and tenth under construction, the management is scrutinizing the company’s investment proposals for these plants very carefully.
Currently the assembly lines that are being used are best according to the industry standards. The distributer lies next in the value chain. Its main purpose is to meet the dealers demand on time and provide seem less transfer of a manufactured car unit from the plant to the shed and warehouse, and from the shed and warehouse to the specific dealer whenever
In 1910, the first building known as the Hamtramck Plant, was constructed. During 1910-1913, this facility was mainly used to produce gears, other machined metal products, forgings, and castings. The annual parts production was very impressive. About sixty percent of the entire Ford car was made by Dodge during the decade 1903-1913. Dodge manufactured or fabricated every major part except bodies, wheels, and tires.
This of course is a lengthy process and one would have to be very patient to see results. However one man sought to change this, he believed there had to be a better way, a faster more efficient way. Englishmen James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny, this machine allowed someone to be able to produce multiple spools of threads at the same time. Later

Foreign materials account for 20% of materials used and rest internally within the state of Michigan.
Also, product handling related defects are reduced due to the lower number of product handlings for non-value adding
The man behind the idea of setting up the Ford model cars from scratch is Henry Ford. Henry Ford is one of the most important figure in the automotive history. One of his greatest contribution in the automotive world is the ‘Model T’. Model T was built and sold to public in year of 1908 and the number of sales reached over the year has set a new record in the history of automotive at that time. Within the time, Ford has own about half percentage of the automotive industries.
Human interaction and Ergonomic practices are ensured on the assembly line. For cost cutting Japanese style of management is
Chapter Two: Literature Review This chapter provides a review of the literature that has studied related topics to the concepts of Total Quality Management (TQM) and Teamwork among healthcare environment. The literature review included a search of multiple databases: Science direct, Pubmed, Google scholar and Wiley online library. The keywords utilized in the search engines were: Total quality management, teamwork, teamwork in healthcare and teamwork improvement. Organizations all over the world have to use different techniques for quality improvement.
