Henry Ford's Lean Manufacturing System

Henry Ford hated waste and aimed to create the most efficient production line for building Model T cars. In 1913, he established the first moving assembly line in Michigan, where each worker had a specialized task and cars moved down the line between stations. Ford observed the process from his second-floor office to identify inefficiencies and make improvements. His techniques like standardization and good wages reduced waste and increased efficiency, leading to Ford being considered the father of lean manufacturing. Toyota's production system is based on Ford's original ideas.

Henry Ford – Lean Manufacturing


Henry Ford hated waste. His ambition was to produce the most efficient production line for
making his Model T cars. He thought about the process flow; beginning with raw materials
and finishing with a happy customer driving a new car.

In Michigan, USA in 1913, Henry Ford created a moving, assembly line to produce cars.
Every worker had a different job and the cars moved through the factory past each
workstation. Mr. Ford had an office on the second floor so he could watch the whole line. If
he saw that a part of the line was too slow or workers had to move too quickly, he would
change the system until it was more efficient.

His techniques included standardization, paying good wages and reducing waste. Henry
Ford is considered the “Father of Lean Manufacturing”.

Toyota is the largest car manufacturer in the world today, and the Toyota Production
System (TPS) is based on the original ideas of Henry Ford.

Henry Ford – Manufactura Esbelta
Henry Ford odiaba el desperdicio. Su ambición era producir la línea de producción más
eficiente para fabricar sus autos Modelo T. Pensó en el flujo del proceso; comenzando
con las materias primas y terminando con un cliente feliz conduciendo un auto nuevo.
En Michigan, EE. UU., en 1913, Henry Ford creó una línea de ensamblaje móvil para
producir automóviles. Cada trabajador tenía un trabajo diferente y los autos se movían a
través de la fábrica pasando por cada estación de trabajo. El Sr. Ford tenía una oficina en
el segundo piso para poder ver toda la fila. Si veía que una parte de la línea era
demasiado lenta o los trabajadores tenían que moverse demasiado rápido, cambiaba el
sistema hasta que fuera más eficiente.
Sus técnicas incluían la estandarización, el pago de buenos salarios y la reducción del
desperdicio. Henry Ford es considerado el “Padre de la Manufactura Esbelta”.
