<u>A technology that increased the productivity in the production (and also distribution processes) was usage of steam power.</u>

Steam power started to be applied to production activities in the UK during the industrial revolution, and made it possible to conduct mining activities, operate mills or to provide energy to a whole factory, decreasing production times and costs (for example, less physical strenght was needed and hence a smaller number of employees need to be hired for a certain task).

The usage of steam power contributed to the generalization of production processes organized in chain and to the development of better and more advanced engines. Steam engines were subsequently applied to boats, railways, farms and road vehicles.

What are the innovations and techniques that Henry Ford used in order to make automobiles more affordable?
Ber [7]

Henry Ford first used what was common in other industrial factories in his own. He created a perfect assembly line where a car was manufactured in just under 90 minutes instead of the usual 13 hours. This perfection in manufacturing meant that no time was to go wasted, this meant that workers were a psrt of a single aspect in the assembly line instead of doing 2 or 3 jobs within production. He created a complex system of trolleys and slides that helped with this purpose of maximizing efficiency. The mass production meant that they could sell more cars and keep their prices down and increasing profits at the same time. He created cars not only with mass production in mind but also with mass consumption. Henry Ford wanted everybody to own a car, not just the little upper rich class.
