The chart illustrates the average time to assemble cars in America in terms of four different brands

(General Motor, Ford, Toyota, Honda) from the period of 1998 to 2005.

Overall, the time used to produce a vehicle for all brands decreased over time, despite
fluctuations. In 1998, General Motor took the longest time to put together a vehicle, whereas Honda
spent the least compared to the rest.

Over 7-year period, the producer General Motor had the greatest improve in the time spent to
make a car, from 32 hours to 22 hours in 1998 and 2005 respectively. In the middle of the year 1999
and 2004, Ford and General Motor had the exact same hours in the making of a vehicle, which were
approximately 29 hours and 24 hours respectively.

In 1998, Honda and Toyota spent the similar time to assemble a car, and although Honda used
three hours less than Toyota to put together the vehicle in 1999, both manufacturers gradually took the
exact hours that rose from 22 hours to 24 hours to produce by the year of 2001 to 2002. Despite
different fluctuations between 2002 and 2005, Toyota and Honda eventually ended up spending 20
hours to make a car.
