Use of mathematical concepts in vehicle manufacturing

Introduction

The vehicle manufacturing technology spans back to the 17th Century where the use of steam powered engines as a means of transport was overtaken by the efficiency of a combustion engine which was more efficient and reliable (colorado.edu, n.d). The pioneers of vehicle manufacturing technology include Henry Ford and Ramson Olds, who oversaw the mass production of motor vehicles on a commercial scale. Initially, the vehicle manufacturing technology comprised the use of precise engineering of individual parts and assembly using handcraft means. This meant that only a few vehicles would be manufactured at a time. However, the United States introduced the use of assembly lines which saw the incorporation of robots in
