April 12, 2023case study analysis 8
Ford set out to build a car which everyone could afford to buy .
Model T – Tin Lizzie – Flivver.
The attraction of the Model T was that its price never increased.
Costing $1200 in 1909, the price in 1928 was only $295.
By 1928 Ford was producing more than one car per minute.
April 12, 2023case study analysis 9
Cars were mass produced and every part was standardized
Only one color and one engine size were available.
By producing large number of cars on an Assembly Line Ford needed fewer skilled people and that cut the cost of paying wages.
Assembly Lines : ‘… each man and each machine do only one thing ... the thing is to keep everything in motion and take the work to the man not the man to the work’

The Indian Reaction

Moreover, it also faced competition from other cars in this segment like Honda accord and Hyundai Sonata.
The posture in the front seat was uncomfortable.
It was not preferred during long journeys.
During rains, the discs made a screeching noise.

A Dreamy Ride
The Mondeo is still, by far, the best driver’s car in the segment, with brilliant, crisp steering, and a
real eagerness to dive into corners. The ride is still quite firm, and can still be jarring over potholes and ridges. It fels absolutely planted and stable,
even at maximum pace, making it a delightful Expressway car.
