Explanation

Ford’s moving assembly line brought the work to stationary workers, speeding up production. He aimed to make a car affordable to ordinary and middle-class buyers, and the Model T eventually became affordable to many people. His factories relied largely on unskilled labor and used interchangeable parts to make assembly and repairs more efficient. He did not protect the traditional craft system; mass production moved away from it.
