The line graph compares the automobile production time among four car producers between 1996 and 2002.
On the whole, while Nisan, Daimler Chrysler, and General Motors witnessed a downward trend in reducing the time producing a car, Ford, on the other hand, showed an increase in the graph.
Initially, Ford took the lowest time for manufacturing vehicles, which was 25 hours in 1998. Unfortunately, the company had to rise its length of time, reaching its peak at 27 hours in 2001, and dropping by 1 hour (occurred in 2002) to complete the production.
However, the remaining categories had an opposite change in their car competition. With Nisan, which had the longest time to produce a car in the first stage, was about 37 hours. This figure then drastically declined by over 10 hours in 2 years later and reached 21 hours to finish an automobile in 2002. Moreover, Daimler Chrysler was the factory that had the most fluctuating trend in the graph. In 1998, they spent 34 hours producing their vehicles and fall down, just under 28 hours in 2002. Finally, it can be seen that General Motors decreased gradually from 1998 and 2002, which was 32 hours and 21 hours respectively.
