Ford system

Japanese: フォード・システム(英語表記)Ford system
Ford system
A management style implemented by H. Ford at the Ford Motor Company (established in 1903). Ford designed, manufactured, and sold automobiles, which had previously been luxury items for the wealthy, as practical vehicles for the masses. This was the Model T. To achieve this goal, he began by improving the production method, starting with the assembly process. He applied two major principles to all of his work. The first was, "Never take more than one step if you can avoid it."

H.フォードが創始したフォード・モーター社(1903創設)において実施した経営管理方式。フォードは,それまで金持ちのためのぜいたく品であった自動車を大衆のための実用車として設計・製造・販売した。これが,モデルT(T型フォード)である。〈安価でかつ量産できるためにはどうすればよいか〉,それを実現するために彼はまず組立作業から生産方式の改善を手がけていった。彼がすべての作業に採用した二大原則がある。その一つは,〈もし避けることができるならば,1歩以上歩んではならない〉。
