Ford
History Brief:
Founded by Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan, United States (where
the company is currently headquartered), and incorporated in 1903.
Ford was launched from a converted wagon factory, with $28,000 cash
from twelve investors. During its early years, the company produced
just a few cars a day at its factory on Mack Avenue in Detroit. Groups
of two or three men worked on each car from components made to order
by other companies.
Ford introduced methods for large-scale
manufacturing of cars, and large-scale management of an industrial
workforce, especially elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences
typified by the moving assembly lines. In 1908, the Ford company
released the Ford Model T. By the end of 1913, Ford was producing 50%
of all cars in the United States, and by 1918 half of all cars in the
country were Model T's.
