Abstract: Abstract In 1925, Ford Motor Company established its branch plant in Yokohama, Japan. As Ford accepted visitors, many visited its plant and gazed at the moving assembly line or conveyor system. By then, the concept of the “Ford production system” had spread among Japanese engineers. However, the Ford system’s conveyors were rarely a focus of any explanation of the concept.
