Henry Ford

The inventor of the modern production line and the Model T Ford, Henry Ford not only revolutionized the automobile industry, but all manufacturing plants with his idea of mass production using an assembly line. The results of his innovation caused the price of cars to drop drastically, making them affordable to the average person. In contrast to other businessmen at the time, Ford treated his workers well. He made the 40-day workweek a standard in all of his plants. Ford was also a philanthropist, establishing the Ford Foundation in 1936. The foundation provides grants for research and education as well as other projects that promote human welfare. Ford died in 1947 at the age of 83.
