Is it true most ethnic group prefer not to imagine and to work on a production or assembly string?
That's what Henry Ford thought. It was part of the philosophy at the back the way we conduct business today. Was he right?
Answers:
First of adjectives , understand the purpose of an assembly or production line . It is a really structured process of building products , whether autos , TV's or what have you , and which require 100's to hundreds of thousands parts to make them a finished commodity .
The intent of this methodology is to produce a product as proficiently , quickly , and trouble free as is humanly possible . To say it deprives one of thinking is a partially truth . The process takes away the need to conjecture , but only in admiration to how , when , or where , a part is to be installed . An assembly row is no place for people to become creative , or to put a part on one course today and differently tomorrow . Standardization is the driving force in designing the parts , installation methods , and the number of people and time required to build respectively product . Thus , without going into detail , a complex process is controlled in respect to cost , trouble shooting , and as I mentioned , efficacy .
Henry Ford realized this and began next to somewhat stationary assembly lines , where the people moved around the vehicle putting on parts . A cumbersome process and thus , the advent of moving lines , where the vehicle traversed through its assembly stages and the people be stationary .
I presume , and I hope , you asked this question with an inquiring mind and not stating a reality , under the subtlety of it being a request for information . I wonder , because I don't recall having ever read that Henry Ford made that statement . But I'm not a historian .
I too am a Detroiter and I spent seriously of time in the assembly plants . I was a white collar worker and thus an jammy target for harsh remarks from some of the assembly line workers . And , if I should enjoy set foot in the plant , say , during federation contract negotiations , the remarks directed to me were normally extremely harsh . But that's life surrounded by the Big City , I understood .
So , I met "those kind of people" . But I met adjectives kind of people contained by the assembly plants , extremely religious , college grads , high school dropouts , alcoholics , drug addict , many down on their luck , many jolly , or at least content , super nice people , and bastards . Guess what ? I met copious more of "those kind" in the so-called sterile confines of the engineering and executive environment . Guess what else ? I've met "those kind" of people a moment ago about everywhere . That's life within the Big City !!
Some of the responses made me cringe ! How disgustingly elitest can people be ? The words I read had to belong to someone born near a silver spoon in their mouth , and still had traces of "mothers' milk" trailing their ears . To judge someone on the basis of the opportunity they hold or to judge the multitudes on the basis of one doomed to failure apple is very narrow thinking .
I am not a milquetoast , I'm not a martyr , not a victor of causes but I am a little more on the conservative side . But above adjectives , I'm a human being , one that expects the respect due me and I in turn show that respect towards other human beings . As one respondent stated , you should spend time surrounded by an assembly plant . I did , and I learned a lot , I get to know many people nearby , and made many friends , but I worked at it . I too wondered how a person can grasp up every morning , go to a job that be the same each time , putting on the same parts , at the same six to eight foot of line space , within the second or minutes allotted to perform his/her operations . Well , I asked several of them how they felt about it , how they did it . The responses would crawl a book .
You want to learn about enthusiasm ? Go to an assembly plant , talk to "those people" and then thank your parents , and God , for what you enjoy . You know , everyone has the right to seek a lawful means of surviving and providing for themselves and their families . But not everyone be granted the background , brilliance or oppurtunities to achieve some lofty position whereby they can look down their nose at the lesser privileged .
Then again , perhaps these "better than thou" types should lately continue their path . Who know , they may one day achieve a position whereby they can cart the work away from "those people" and ship it out to "those people" living in some Third World nation . A little extreme perhaps , but at hand are consequences for all the judgments that ancestors make , good and impossible . There's an old adage , "engage your brain past you put your foot in your mouth".
Uh no, hold you ever worked on the "line" Try it It will change your attitude (Nissan Plant Canton Mississippi) And that is a slap contained by the face to many auto workers surrounded by our great country to say such a thing
It depends on what kindly of person you are, are you a follower, or are you a leader?
He claimed this, but it for sure didn't apply to him, did it?
I have worked on an assembly vein several times throughout my life. I actually found that it give me massive amounts of time to think.
I guess it just comes down to the individual and how much they imagine at anytime. Sort of like work, you are geared towards it or not!
This question (or the answers) in fact tells quite a bit of underlying reason for liberal/conservative views.
I think that most empire would have a more complete feeling of accomplishment if they be able to create a whole product. Since assembly smudge work has been around since Ford's time and the school have modeled their system by that model, people don't reason much about their thoughts or lives being much different than that. This is a process of life (success) that has be modeled for each and everyone here in the USA. It is harder to suppose about a different model when you are busy surviving in this one?
well, I don't know about "prefer not to think"...
but it seem to be much more efficient... taking the "thinking" out, it streamlines the process and I think it eliminate errors in the end...
I chew over so. Growing up in Detroit I saw these types of people on a day after day basis.
So you think the adjectives man does not think...you post this question that insults so heaps fine Americans from every background and you want us to what? join your political celebration?
you ARE in politics here...are you recruiting? okay I don't believe that statement is either fair, accurate, or intelligent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson may have 'said' it best when he wrote: "The most difficult point for a man to do ... is to think".
I definately prefer to think. Thinking is good, it keep me from becoming a vegetable. Also production work is mind numbing and dull (IMO). If I had to choose, I would definately take thought over baldness. But for people that enjoy production (My boyfriend), I am sure they enjoy a completely different opinion. I agree with the individual above who said it was for streamlining purposes.
