Background
For the majority of the 20th century, production facilities have copied Henry Ford’s assembly line concept (not an original idea), to create greater efficiency. Having observed the conveyor belt system used by meat packers, Ford analyzed the processes of building a Model T and determined there were 86 distinct steps in the manufacture of his automobile. Using pulleys, hooks, and various conveyor systems, Ford was able to roll out a car in 93 minutes rather than the previous time allotment of 12 hours.
In the 1990’s, Michael Dell abandoned the assembly line in favor of modular production teams. Amazingly, this proved to be equally efficient in terms of production output, but had a higher rate of quality control. Dell’s concept has recently been copied by the Tata Group in India, an automobile manufacturer using modular production methods may disrupt the way we handle production in the future.

Discussion Topic
Dell’s modular production method is aimed at instilling pride in teams at the Dell plant. It remains open as to whether modular production is the wave of the future or whether assembly lines will continue to be the main force of production. This week you will be divided into two opposing teams. Students whose last names start with the letters A through L are charged with giving compelling reasons as to why the assembly line method of production is preferred, and those with last names beginning with M through Z will offer opposing views that favor modular production. In spite of your initial position, you can continue to back your claims or feel free to offer any opposing opinion in your response to peers. Any research into these methods is encouraged.
