friends it is a comprehensive question please answer for this. please pleaseIn August, 1946, I began working at Ford as a student engineer. Our program was known as a loop training course, because the trainees made a complete circuit of the entire operation. We worked in the bowels of the company, spending a few days or a week in each department. When we finished, we were supposed to be familiar with every stage of manufacturing a car.The company went to great lengths to give us hands-on experience. We were assigned to the famous River Rouge plant, the largest manufacturing complex in the world. The Ford Motor Company actually owned the coal and limestone mines, so we got to see the entire process, start to finish--- from hauling the stuff out of the ground to making the steel and then turning the steel into cars.Our tour of duty included the jobbing foundry, the production foundry, the ore boats, the tool and die shops, the test tract, the forging plant, and the assembly lines. But not all of our experience was directly connected to manufacturing. We also spent time in the purchasing department and even in the plant hospital.It was the best place in the world to learn how cars were really made and how the industrial process worked. The Rouge plant was the pride of the company, and visiting delegations from other countries were always coming over to have a look. It was long before the Japanese showed any interest in Detroit, but eventually they too would make a thousand pilgrimages to the Rouge.I was finally seeing the practical application of everything I had read about in books. I had studied metallurgy at Lehigh, but now I was actually doing it, working at the blast furnaces and in the open hearths. In the tool and die department I got to run the machinery I had only read about, such as the planers, the milling machines and the lathes. (An Excerpt from “An Autobiography” by Lee Iacocca)a.
