Answer:

How did Henry Ford's system of production affect other industries? His system was adopted by many different kinds of companies. His system was adopted specifically by meatpacking companies. His system was largely ignored by other companies.

Step-by-step explanation:

This move by Ford was followed by other companies, and changed the business and manufacturing world across the nation as workers began to seek out jobs that came with higher wages and shorter hours. An important outcome of the moving assembly line was the drop in price for the Model T.

In addition to the moving assembly line, Ford revolutionized the auto industry by increasing the pay and decreasing the hours of his employees, ensuring he could get enough and the best workers. During the Model T era, Ford bought out his shareholders so he had complete financial control of the now vast corporation.
