Henry Ford’s assembly line approach was based on the principles of scientific management, which emphasized efficiency and productivity. Modern manufacturing such as Toyota or Tesla uses a team approach based on the principles of lean manufacturing, which emphasizes continuous improvement and waste reduction. The team approach is more efficient than the assembly line approach because it allows for greater flexibility and adaptability. Changes in the industry reflect changes in theoretical frameworks.
