Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. Henry Ford invented mass production. In doing so, he perfected the assembly line concept in which each worker does only one job or a handful of jobs and is given little other responsibility. This worked well for 70 years; however, it became apparent in the 1990s that an increasing number of U.S. companies could not produce a high-quality product by sticking to the assembly line model. What has changed?
2. Discuss the risks involved in the project “buying a used car.” Develop a risk management plan for this project.
