Quality is job one.
2. Henry Ford built his first experimental car in a workshop behind his home
in Detroit in 1896.
Ford Motor Company, American automotive corporation founded in 1903 by Henry
Ford and 11 associate investors.
Ford's first production was in July 1903 at the Mack Avenue plant, the Model A, with
an under the floor engine selling for $850. In the first season it sold 1,708 cars.
Many later modals such as Modal- C, B, K, N; lead to the introduction of the famous
Model T or Tin Lizzie in 1909 at a price of $890.
In 1911, ford opened first factory outside north America-in
MANCHESTER,ENGLAND.
in 1913 he introduced the world’s first moving assembly line for cars; and in 1914, to
further improve labor productivity, he introduced the $5 daily wage for an eighthour day (replacing $2.34 for a nine-hour day).
By 1918, 50% of the country cars were of MODAL - T
3. In 1919 the company was reincorporated, with Ford, his wife, Clara, and his
son, Edsel Ford, acquiring full ownership; they, their heirs, and the Ford
Foundation (formed 1936) were sole stockholders until January 1956, when public
sale of the common stock was first offered.
By the end of the 1920s, Ford had more than 20 overseas assembly plants in
Europe, Latin America, Canada, Asia, South Africa, and Australia.
In the later years, ford manufactures tri motor plane, jeeps , bombers for world
war.
It also expanded its business globally in Australia(1926),Europe(1967), Asia
pacific(1970).
More than 15 million Modal-T cars were sold until 1927, when it left the market
only leading to new and highly innovative automobiles to be created such as
MODAL-A(new version)
After the death of henry ford(1947) and Edson Ford(1943), Henry Ford II, grand
son of henry ford reorganized the company’s tangled system of financial
management and reinvigorated its corporate culture by hiring talented younger
managers.
Henry Ford II continued to guide the company as chief executive officer (1945–70)
and chairman of the board (1960–80).
4. In 1956, ford went into public with common stock shares
Over a period of time, it acquired AUSTIN MARTIN, JAGUAR,VOLVO,LAND ROVER,
acquired significant share in Mazda Motor Corporation.
1995, annual revenues reached $137 billion
However, as Ford struggled in the early 21st century, it began selling a number of its
brands.
In 2007 the company sold Aston Martin, and the following year it sold Jaguar and Land
Rover to Tata Motors Ltd. of India.
It was crucial stage for ford and faced many losses.
In December 2008 Pres. George W. Bush announced an emergency financial rescue
plan to aid the “Big Three” automakers—Chrysler LLC, General Motors Corporation,
and Ford—to prevent the collapse of the country’s struggling auto industry.
However Ford possessed adequate funds to continue operations and, thus, did not
immediately require government relief.
It was able to avoid bankruptcy—for which both General Motors and Chrysler filed—
Ford experienced increased sales and market share in 2009.
Ford adopted various cost-cutting measures and focused on stronger brands which
increased sales and market share in 2009.
In March 2010 the automaker agreed to sell Volvo to the Chinese company Zhejiang
Geely Holding.
