Walter Flanders
Walter Emmett Flanders (1871–1923) was a U.S. American industrialist in the machine tool and automotive industries and was an early mass production expert.〔Borth, Christy. ''Masters of Mass Production,'' pp. 31, 262, Bobbs-Merrill Company, Indianapolis, IN, 1945.〕
Flanders was born March 4, 1871 in Waterbury, Vermont, the son of Dr. George Flanders and Mary (Goodwin) Flanders, the oldest of three children.〔. The family's genealogy lists him as () the eldest of three known children of Dr George T. Flanders and Mary M. Goodwin〕〔.〕 He was a highly knowledgeable salesman of machine tools (who was also an expert in their development and use)〔.〕 when he was recruited by the Ford Motor Company in August 1906〔.〕 to be what Charles E. Sorensen variously described as "a cost-cutting production manager"〔.〕 and a "roistering genius"〔.〕 "with the entirely unofficial rating of works manager" whose "hiring arrangement included an understanding that he could continue to sell machinery elsewhere with an organization of his own."〔.〕 During his rather short (20-month) tenure at the young company, he helped tremendously to orient its production operations toward the coming era of mass production. This included introducing the concepts of fixed monthly output and of transferring some of the carrying of parts inventories from the Ford company to its suppliers.〔.〕 It also included rearranging the layout of machine tools in the plant with a view to the orderly sequence of operations.〔Herman, Arthur. ''Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II,'' pp. 19, 220, 223, Random House, New York, NY. ISBN 978-1-4000-6964-4.〕〔.〕 This work formed a foundation on which others at Ford would build as they spent the next five years (1908–1913) developing the concept of a true modern assembly line.
Flanders left Ford Motor Company in April 1908〔.〕 to co-found the E-M-F Company, which was acquired by Studebaker in 1910. Later he founded the United States Motor Company, and he reorganised Maxwell after the fall of the United States Motor Company.
