The chart illustrates the data about the time taken for vehicle production by U.S.-based car producers between 1998 and 2002.
Overall, the most time was used to make a Nissan car, while the time taken to produce a Ford car was the least at the start of the time period. All of the time used for each type of vehicle production declined sharply at the end.
Regarding Nissan, they built the vehicle within 36 and 38 hours in 1998, and the time for production dramatically dropped to 30 hours in 1999, nearly 24 hours in 2000, and accounted for almost 22 hours at the end. In comparison, a DC car could be produced in 34 hours in 1998, and the production time fluctuated between 30 and 32 hours until 2001, decreasing to approximately 28 hours in 2002.
For General Motors, the time taken for vehicle production went down by two hours throughout the time period, with production times of 32, 30, 28, 26, and 24 hours in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively.
In contrast, Ford car production time was the only one that rose gradually, starting at 25 hours and reaching a peak of almost 28 hours in 2001 before falling to 26 hours in 2002.
