Seeking to address issues such as an ageing workforce and the physical tolls of working for many years on an assembly line, Ford convened a team of occupational physicians, production specialists, labour groups and representatives for disabled employees to improve the ergonomics, safety and productivity on the assembly line.

This led to the creation of the Happy Seat - an ingenious swivel chair attached to a rod-shaped suspension. It allows workers to sit in comfort on the production line while assembling cars. The seat allows workers to sit and glide into the car while fitting pedal boxes, for example, instead of bending over.
