亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导

The plant at Manchester, England, is making nearly an entire car. The tractor plant at Cork, Ireland, is making almost a complete tractor. This is an enormous saving of expense and is only an indication of what may be done throughout industry generally, when each part of a composite article is made at the exact point where it may be made most economically. We are constantly experimenting with every material that enters into the car. We cut most of our own lumber from our own forests. We are experimenting in the manufacture of artificial leather because we use about forty thousand yards of artificial leather a day. A penny here and a penny there runs into large amounts in the course of a year.

白话

福特提到,英国曼彻斯特的工厂几乎生产整辆车,爱尔兰科克的拖拉机厂几乎生产完整的拖拉机。这节省了大量费用,也预示了普遍工业中可能做到的事:复合产品的每个部件都在最经济的地点制造。他们不断试验汽车用的每种材料,大部分木材从自己的森林砍伐,因为每天用约四万码人造革,正试验制造人造革。这里省一便士,那里省一便士,一年下来就是大数目。

上下文

福特在书中描述其全球工厂布局和材料自给策略,强调成本控制。
