Henry Ford (1863–1947) was an American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company, best known for revolutionizing the automobile industry with the development of the assembly line. His introduction of mass production techniques made cars more affordable, particularly with the release of the Model T in 1908, which transformed personal transportation and the global economy. Ford's innovations in manufacturing significantly increased efficiency and lowered costs, setting new standards for modern industry. Beyond automobiles, he implemented the $5 workday, doubling wages for factory workers and shaping labor practices. His impact on transportation, business, and industrial production remains one of the most influential in history.
