Ford 1908-1916
While researching my Deming book, I bought a lot of books. Since they weren't electronic, I needed to find the exact reference for many of these books. I'm now reading the complete books. My current book is "From American System to Mass Production 1800-1932."
It is a dry read but a fascinating look at American mass production, from sewing machines to bicycles to cars. From 1909 to 1916, Ford's growth was interesting to observe. Between 1909 and 1916, Model T sales and production increased by over 4000 percent, while unit retail costs decreased by 62%.
