Reference no: EM133274040

In 1908 Henry Ford produced the first affordable automobile (Model T) using his assembly line method. At the time, the assembly line was a new and emerging technology and is now the essential element of most manufacturing processes. You probably can easily identify the benefits achieved by the assembly line. However, there were also (ethical) consequences to its development and implementation. Discuss what you believe to be ethical consequences of the assembly line. Do those consequences still apply in today's manufacturing environment with the use of robots? What should manufacturers do to alleviate these consequences?
