Answer 1

Here are some statements you can use to compare and contrast car manufacturing before and after the introduction of the moving assembly line:

Before assembly lines:

• Production was labor-intensive with skilled craftsmen working on various parts of the car.
• Each vehicle took a long time to build, sometimes weeks or even months.
• Customization was more common, allowing for unique vehicles tailored to individual buyers.
• Factories operated with a slower pace and lesser output.

Both:

• The goal of manufacturing was to produce cars for consumers.
• Quality control measures were important to ensure vehicles were safe and functional.
• The car manufacturing process involved multiple stages of production.

After assembly lines:

• Production efficiency increased dramatically, allowing cars to be produced in a matter of hours.
• The workforce required fewer skilled workers, as many tasks became simple and repetitive.
• Standardization of parts and models became prevalent, which reduced costs and increased availability.
• Mass production techniques allowed for lower prices and wider access to automobiles for the general public.
