USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mass production is also referred to as flow production, repetitive flow production, series production, or serial production. In mass production, mechanization is used to achieve high volume, detailed organization of material flow, careful control of quality standards, and division of labor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mass production is the manufacturing of the same standardized product lines for a prolonged period of time. It uses automation or assembly lines to facilitate the high volume production of similar products. Mass production is synonymous with continuous flow production or series reduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Much of the credit for bringing these early concepts together in a coherent form, and creating the modern, integrated, mass production operation, belongs to the U.S. industrialist Henry Ford and his colleagues at the Ford Motor Company, where in 1913 a moving-belt conveyor was used in the assembly of flywheel magnetos.

Detailed explanation-4: -The traditional example of mass production is the automobile industry, which has continued to refine the basic principles originally laid down by Henry Ford and other pioneers of mass production techniques.
