This innovation allowed, a few years later, that the production of Ford cars hits 15 million units. Ford became the maker of half of all cars on the road in the United States.
But history is never that simple. Ford is more than that. First of all, he did not invent the assembly line, he realized - seeing, for example, slaughterhouses moving the carcasses hanging on hooks till the butchers - that could be more practical to keep the worker stopped and move the product to be assembled.
Then Ford went up wages to five dollars per day, doubling the average payment. This dropped the turnover, attracted skilled labor, increased productivity and reduced training time and training costs. Ford recalled that well-paid workers could consume more, and this would heat up the economy.
Ford hired none other than Taylor - that famous Frederick Winslow Taylor - to help improve the quality of the movements of his workers.
Harold Wills designed with Ford the famous race car 999, in which the pilot Barney Oldfield released the name Ford and the habit of cars around the country. The capitalization process that came from this campaign gets financial support wich enabled Ford to found the Ford Motor Company.
Moreover, Ford has created a process of financing for the purchase of manufactured models. Universal Credit Corporation was a lender dedicated exclusively to the buyers of the factory.
This combination of assembly line, not dissatisfied workers, macroeconomic view, the use of scientific methods, vision in marketing and finances within a creative mind does Ford not only the inventor of what can be called 'american success', but also the inventor of a world - much of which distinctly marked the twentieth century came from the work of Ford and his people. A man who shaped a century.
