Ford Motor Company Organization Chart, November 1, 1919

01

Artifact Overview

Organizational charts and corporate hierarchies weren't strictly followed or enforced in Ford Motor Company's first decades -- largely because of founder Henry Ford's indifference to them. But this chart, issued in November 1919, illustrates a formal chain of command from president Edsel Ford down through company officers, superintendents, managers, and department heads.
