it would increase production, potentially decreasing labor needs.

Explanation:

1. Henry Ford revolutionized industrial manufacturing by introducing and continuously improving the moving assembly line for the Model T. This innovation drastically reduced the time required to build a single vehicle, allowing for mass production at a lower cost.
2. Labor leaders resisted scientific management (often called Taylorism) because its focus on extreme efficiency and productivity meant fewer workers could produce more output. This raised fears of widespread layoffs, job insecurity, and the devaluation of skilled labor.

Answer:

1. improving the assembly line
2. It would increase production, potentially decreasing labor needs.
