亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导

About the best we had done in stationary chassis assembling was an average of twelve hours and twenty-eight minutes per chassis. We tried the experiment of drawing the chassis with a rope and windlass down a line two hundred fifty feet long. Six assemblers traveled with the chassis and picked up the parts from piles placed along the line. This rough experiment reduced the time to five hours fifty minutes per chassis. In the early part of 1914 we elevated the assembly line. We had adopted the policy of "man-high" work; we had one line twenty-six and three quarter inches and another twenty-four and one half inches from the floor--to suit squads of different heights. The waist-high arrangement and a further subdivision of work so that each man had fewer movements cut down the labour time per chassis to one hour thirty-three minutes. Only the chassis was then assembled in the line. The body was placed on in "John R. Street"--the famous street that runs through our Highland Park factories. Now the line assembles the whole car.

白话

底盘装配原来平均要12小时28分。福特先做粗糙实验:用绳子和绞盘把底盘沿250英尺长的线拉动,6个装配工跟着走,从沿线堆放的零件里取件,时间降到5小时50分。1914年初把线抬高到“齐腰高”,并进一步细分工作,让每人动作更少,时间降到1小时33分。当时只有底盘上线,车身在“约翰·R街”另装;现在整辆车都在线上装。关键经验:先粗试,再根据人体高度和动作经济性优化。

福特描述底盘装配线从12小时缩短到1小时33分的实验过程。

今日一问

你的工作台或流程高度是否合适?有没有因为姿势或取件不便浪费了时间?
