Inventions Of The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was an innovative period between the 1760s through the 1850s, making
people go from a predominantly agricultural existence into a more urban lifestyle. Starting after year
1750, all the factors that, made Great Britain the best place for industrialization. The primary
assessment that made it possible was the invention of machines that could do work that was
previously done by hand. This allowed production to shift from inside homes into factories. During
the industrial revolution, new inventions were plentiful and helped to 'revolutionize' the way in
which people lived. The Steam engine, mass production/division of labor, mechanization,
abundance of iron, and the telegraph made the Industrial Revolution ... Show more content on

Mass Production and Division of labor is a manufacturing system based upon principles such as
interchangeable parts, large–scale productions, and the high volume assembly line. In the early
1800s, a man named Josiah Wedgwood started his own pottery business using mass production, they
made pottery for Europeans who liked to always keep their tea from porcelain because without the
pottery cups the flavor would spoil. He hired many labors to press down the clay, glaze pieces, carry
things, while others put handles on cups. Mass Production adapted to make workers more
productive using less required skills, while being paid less being able to lower costs of products
while boosting quality. Mass Production and Division became the most important structure for
manufacturing across the globe, utilizing extreme impact on popular culture.
Mechanization was a huge process, that changed work that was done before only by hands or
animal's to doing work with new machinery. The cotton thread and weaving for cloth in the 1800s
was a main product for these new machines, the cloth was much nicer, softer, and cleaner than any
hand made clothing as said in the book "wealthy Europeans developed a liking for the costly
import." This quote shows that wealthy Europeans were itching for the newly designed products
made by these machines. The people working in this industrial adapted well towards mechanization
by being able to create more product faster, while being less stressed at work.

have caused numerous injuries and deaths, perhaps nobody could have a thinking of that. Actually,
automatic–robots do their job with specific programmes which cannot offer any intelligence to
attack someone. Likewise, technology, especially the mass production, has never betrayed its
purpose, which is to increase the productivity, but just because of its different thinking aspect from
crafting, which aspect is based on specific theories and unfriendly interfaces, people commence a

Changing Roles Of Women During World War I
The decade of the twenties has become known as "The Roaring Twenties," "The Epoch of
Confusion," "The Age of Intolerance and Wonderful Nonsense," "The Jazz Age," amongst many
others, all of which attempt to encompass the great times and good feelings of this decade that
would influence modern America for many decades to come. Americans had more money to spend
and more time for leisure in the hustle and bustle of cities like New York and Philadelphia. The
economic boom, the changing roles of women, and the explosion of mass culture were all
contributing factors to this time of "dramatic social and political change" (Staff). After World War I,
the nation's economy shifted from a military focus to one of a more domestic approach. Factories
that were previously used for wartime productions such as tanks transitioned into factories of
peaceful production (Sullivan). With this change, new products and technologies such as the
automobile and household appliances were able to be mass produced– and mass consumed. This
created a new economic culture of consumerism, one that can be defined as "the theory that a
progressively greater consumption of goods is economically beneficial; Attachment to materialistic
values or possessions" (Emerald 6) or a "culture surrounding the buying and selling of products"
(Sullivan). Encompassed in the frenzy of consumerism were the major industries of automobile
making, household appliances, and the world of advertising. The auto industry was jet

How Did Henry Ford Use Mass Production In The 1920's
Throughout the 1920's, while the economy was stable, there was quite a large unemployment rate.
This allowed many individuals to come up with ways to provide for more jobs and make jobs more
cost effective. One method of this was popularized by Henry Ford known as "mass production".
This being created in the 1910's was brought to its best by henry ford creating more, easier, better–
paying jobs for anyone. Mass Production techniques in industries and factories allowed larger
numbers of products to be created more easily with less effort, better wages for employees, and
cheaper retail costs. The most popular method of mass production was the efficient use of the
Assembly Line, as used by Henry Ford and the production of the Model T automobile.

What Was The Industrial Revolution All About?
The Industrial Revolution
1. What was the industrial revolution all about?
The Industrial Revolution initially began in Britain and spread throughout Europe, North America
and the rest of the world. It was a period of great change brought on by advancements in
technologies and increases in trade, agriculture, mining, manufacturing and population growth.
These advancements changed the structure of society at that time and changed the economy, which
had been based on the land and manual labour, to an economy based on manufacturing by machines.
Before the revolution, people had mainly made a living from working on the land and so they lived
in rural areas. New technologies, inventions, methods, ideas and materials meant that things could ...

It started around the period of 1760 to 1850 in Britain. The reason that the revolution started in
Britain in the 18th century is that Britain had large deposits of coal and could power the steam
engines that were used to operate the machinery. Another reason is that technological improvements
in the textile industry improved the process of making clothes. Prior to these changes, clothing had
been handmade and was labour intensive, however mass production of cotton garments were made
using machines which provided England with the opportunity to mass produce items to supply the
demands of the growing population and export to other countries. The revolution continued into the
first half of the 19th century and spread around the world.
Mass Production
3. What is Mass Production?
Mass production is a process in which large quantities of standard products are produced on
production lines. It can also be called flow production, series production or serial production and
uses conveyor belts to move ready made parts to workers to finish off the product. This type of
machinery provided a very high rate of production but also reduced the amount of workers required
to do the work. This resulted in a rapid loss of jobs being available in the workforce and workers

How Did Henry Ford Change The World Of Business
In the 20th century, Henry Ford helped change the world of businesses by implementing the system
of mass production. Fordism's idea is to pay workers a higher price so that they are motivated to
work and produce products cheaply for consumers so that consumers buy his products and become
loyal customers. Ford believed that high corporate profits could be achieved through paying
worker's higher wages. Fordism was an economic model based on both mass production and mass
consumption.
There were two interrelated aspects of Ford's idea: first, the assembly line system and second, the
announcement and implication of a $5 minimum wage for workers.
Aspects of Fordism include craft production to mass production. This is the basis for the market

Mass Customisation And Its Effect On The Individual And...
Mass Customisation in Architecture
Introduction
Mass customisation implies a relationship between an individual and the production process.
For mass production to occur a process must be created which aims to fabricate a product in the
easiest and the least redundant way. This process is highly designed to create products which are
virtually identical in mass quantities (Image 01.1). The final outcome caters to the product rather
than to the individual. A process, on the other hand, which allows for a product to be produced based
on the needs and wants of the individual requires a link to be created between the person and the
system. (Image 01.2) For this relationship to exist, the individual must have a knowledge of the
different ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The combination of these two factors are then forced upon the user, who will never consider the
possibility of variation.
Extrusion moulding, additive fabrication and water jet cutting are the three production methods
which this project will explore in the context of a joint at an architecturally viable scale. In
architecture, joinery exists in wood work and metal and is intended to create a connection between
separate elements. For example a lap joint in wood work or welding, or a metal t–plate are intend to
be static joint details which can bring together multiple elements. The ball and socket joint,
however, is a joint type which does connect separate elements, but allows for movement among
them. This can be utilised to create structures which can withstand forces acting from various
angles, or structures which can be dismantled, folded and transported. Thus exploring the ball and
socket joint which is a natural or manufactured joint or coupling in which a partially spherical end
lies in a socket, allowing multidirectional movement and rotation, will allow me to explore these
fabrication methods to their greatest capabilities.
Extrusion Molding
Extrusion molding is recognized as a process of pushing a malleable material, sensitive to heat,
through a plate with a predefined void. As the material is pushed through the die, it takes on the
shape of the void and therefor an object is created with a continuous cross

Social And Economic Effects Of The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial revolution was a period between the eighteenth and ninteenth centuries, and the Old
agrarian economy became more industrialized and urban. Before this period of time, manufacturing
was often performed in homes and was handmade. These techniques developed over time turning
into factories, textile industry, and new technologies. The new industrialization effected the people
in terms of mass production and new technologies.
Mass production is a system of manufacturing in which machines rapidly product large amounts of a
product. This began in the textile industry and decreased the need for skilled workers, and unskilled
workers became increasingly important. When these machines were developed, wages declined and
costs of making goods declined as well, resulting in economic growth. There were many unskilled
workers who can operate these machines and so they were competing with each other and offering
to work for less. Goods could also be shipped farther ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The Bessemer process was developed which involved the method of steel production. New business
models made it easier for businesses to operate increased the availability of banking. Railroads
increased mileage allowed raw materials and other goods to be shipped more quickly at farther
distances. This improved business production for people of the era and improved the methods of
transportation. Railroads linked the nation because goods could be shipped more quickly and less
expensively, and the price of goods decreased, increasing the size of markets.
In Summary, The Industrial revolution effected people of the era in many ways, including mass
production factories and new technologies improving businesses and transportation. There was less
of a need of skilled workers and their were lower wages, which resulted in economic growth. New

How Has The Industrial Revolution Changed The World
It would be hard for some to believe there was a time that taking a train ride was the best way to get

cookies to last more then one night. The Industrial Revolution changed the world and even though
we are in a time where trains are only used for local transportation and it is unusual for a household
to not have a car. There was time when that was not the case. The Industrial Revolution brought
about a higher volume and variety of factory–produced goods and elevated the standard of living for
many people, mostly for the middle and upper classes. The life for the poor and working classes was

The Ford Model and Mass Production
Ford is a prestigious motor company with a successful production history spanning more than a
century and involving several influential automobiles, most notably the iconic Model T. Indeed, the
Model T was a supreme mechanical innovation, a remarkable marriage of "technical design and
social context" (Boyer & Dubofsky 275). Although simple in design, and relatively expensive, the
vehicle performed very well against competitors' models, surviving the primitive roads and almost
nonexistent repair facilities thanks to a very robust frame, high wheel clearance and an easy–to–fix
motor and suspension (Boyer & Dubofsky 275). The popularity of the vehicle was the impetus for
Henry Ford to look at innovative production techniques in order to quench the high demand of the
American public. The production breakthroughs initiated by Ford in his assembly plants became
known alternatively as the 'assembly line' approach, or Fordism (Boyer & Dubofsky 275). Hence,
outside of the automobile industry and culture of car aficionados, the Ford motor company has had
its greatest influence on the world through its primary innovation – assembly line production.
Like anything else, mass production did not simply originate with Ford's acumen, though he
certainly was an innovator. The 1890 Westinghouse Air Brake Company also used a prototype of
assembly line production. William Klann, head of Ford's engine department, was most responsible
for the adoption of the conveying system at Ford (Curcio

The Invention Of The Assembly Line
Introduction:
The degree of engineering production has substantially increased over the last one hundred years.
There exists numerous reasons why the world has been able to progress so quickly in the last one
hundred years than the few thousand years before. The main answer lies in the invention of the
assembly line. Prior to the assembly line, production rate was dependent on the precision of specific
parts for an item and a worker's ability to assemble the specific parts together. The assembly line
eliminated the idea of a worker who must be trained to build every part of a machine or item.
Instead, the assembly line focused more on small independent jobs for lesser trained employees.

Henry Ford introduced his Model T in 1908, which astounded the public due to its simplicity and
reliability, according to History.com. While the Model T was inexpensive, Ford didn't find his
product to be as inexpensive as he wanted. Ford challenged himself to find a way to make his dream
of supplying the whole nation with affordable cars a reality. Ford realized that he must change his
methods of production in order to decrease the price of his automobiles. His invention of the
assembly line actually started before the Model T came out, but Ford did not know it at the time.
The Model N was built prior to the Model T. The workers on the Model N automobiles placed the
parts in order along the floor while the "under–construction" auto was on skids and moved down the
line. The workers placed their respective parts on the machine as it passed by. For the Model T, Ford
tried to make his process even better. He broke the assembly process into 84 small steps. On top of
this, workers were trained for only one of the 84 steps. By having a machine that could make
interchangeable parts faster than any human, the process accelerated quickly and there was no
shortage on supplies. With the combination of the new parts machine, line of workers trained per

The Story of Lean Production – Toyota's Secret Weapon in the Global Car Wars
That is Revolutionizing World Industry
In the beginning of the book, the authors generally introduce three kinds of the worldwide industry
in its production system's development from the very first one to the newest approach, which are
craft production, mass production, and lean production respectively.
The Industry of Industries in Transition. they look through the history of the automobile
manufacturing by spelling out Henry Ford and Alfred Sloan, who left behind the old–fashioned type
of production, craft production, and began a new age of the world manufacture with mass
production. Also, they mention about Eiji Toyoda and Taiichi Ohno, who initially started the
conception, "lean production", which, nowadays, has been seeking by manufacturers of all kind of

Rise Of The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was a fundamental change in the ways goods were to be produced. How
this was done is people start to invent machines that would do the same job but a lot faster, there for
replacing human labor.
They had the spinning wheel and the hand loom but they invented the water frame (1769), spinning
jenny (1764) , spinning mule (1779), power loom (1785), cotton gin (1794), steam engine (1712) ,
sewing machine (1846), and the flying shuttle (1733). These ended up collapsing the cottage
workers income of cloth they made.
Now that they had these machines they would need new ways to power them since they couldn't
keep burning coal forever. Some of these new power sources were water, steam, oil, electricity, gas,
and kerosene.

When inventories are low and under good control, the valuation of inventory becomes much less
complex. Lean Accounting contains a number of methods for valuing inventory that are simple,
accurate and often visual. Several of these methods do not require any computer–based inventory
tracking at all. * Implement a Pull System where customer demand dictates the production level.
Visual controls are used to trigger upstream links in the value stream to initiate additional
productions. Automatically signals replenish the parts of upstream links without the need to prepare
paperwork such as a material requisition. * Assign the days–of–inventory (DOI) metric to staff
members responsible for buying materials for each value stream. Buyer should focus on improving
the pull and flow of inventory and on reducing inventory levels. A reduction in days of inventory is
much easier to see rather than a one–tenth of a point improvement in a site inventor turn under
traditional measurement systems. Using DOI metric at the value stream level, buyers begin to see
how their actions on reducing inventory result in actual improvement of inventory level. * Establish
a task time. Task time is the average production time allowing for each unit of demand and is

The traditional design of manufacturing control systems does not allow for rapidly expanding
options in materials, processes, interfaces to product models that have a number of variants. Holons
allow the implementation of production variants and the rapid reconfiguration of the machines and
robots. Proposed MES architecture supports the capability of production systems. Demand chain
management will allow for a significant reduction in waste and will increase the profitability of
production systems. Flexible production planning will effect in reducing the setup and changeover
time and costs. The strategic target of proposed MES solution is "one piece flow production" that
means the feasibility of short series production (up to one element) by using the production lines
designed formerly for mass manufacturing.
Like all industrial solutions, the proposed MES also has to fit the existing standards accepted by
industry. The authors define an MES functional model that complies with the third part of the widely
accepted ANSI/ISA–95 (IEC/ISO 62264) standard. Since ISA95 represents a hierarchical vision of

Mass Markets and Mass Production
In today's world, Mass Markets have lost its appeal. The time where mass production of goods and
services for all customers are long gone. Mass Marketing is paving way for Niche Marketing using
more personalised approach. Mass Markets as we know are large unsegmented or undifferentiated
market where products and services are offered to every consumer using mass marketing techniques.
On the other hand, Mass Marketing is referred to as the market coverage approach where companies
use one particular idea on the entire mass market.
The focus of Mass Markets is gradually shifting towards Niche Markets. Such markets mainly focus
on particular products to a much defined audience unlike mass markets. The product is customised
and made according to customers' needs hence the customer is also ready pay for their preferred
product.
One of the examples of such mass markets was Coca–Cola. Around the 1880's, Asa Griggs Candler
bought the rights of Coca–Cola originally from John Pemberton. He made unique changes to its
packaging and logo to attract its customers. He sold Coca–Cola through huge advertising spending
to the mass audience becoming the first person to use this technique of mass marketing which made

managed to have advanced revolvers during the war. Overall "Its output for the entire Civil War
period totaled 378,000 revolvers and 114,000 muskets" (Grant, 1982). The role that his company
played in producing firearms for the Union Army placed Colt as a historic figure in American
history. Today Samuel Colt is looked at as the man who revolutionized the firearm industry and the
man who created the first mass producing firearms company in the world. He was recently honored

With manufacturing moving overseas in the past several decades and America currently having a

vehicles also displays this consumption. Ford vehicles were rising in demand, and highly desired
throughout the US during this time. As the assembly line was being perfected, production increased
and prices sank. This lead to even greater mass consumption. After the Great War the entire world

Lean Production : Toyota 's Secret Weapon
In their book The Story of Lean Production – Toyota's Secret Weapon in the Global Car Wars That is
Revolutionizing World Industry, published in 2007, James P. Womack, Daniel T. Jones, and Daniel
Roos generally introduce and discuss about three industrial manufacturing methods from the very
first approach to the most current one, which are craft production, mass production, and lean
production respectively. Basically, their main points are focusing on lean production and its
development as well as related issues.
Chapter 1: The Industry of Industries in Transition. They look through the history of the automobile
manufacturing by spelling out Henry Ford and Alfred Sloan, who left behind the old–fashioned type
of production, craft production, and began a new age of the world manufacture with mass
production. Also, they mention about Eiji Toyoda and Taiichi Ohno, who initially started the
conception, "lean production", which, nowadays, has been seeking by manufacturers of all kinds of
industries on over the world. In addition, the writers provide a quick view in the comparison among
craft production, mass production, and lean production in which they point out the drawbacks of
craft production, the obstacles of mass production, and the advantages of lean production. The
authors emphasize that no lean manufacturer has ever reached the ideal target of lean production,
but they will continuously attempt to gain the perfections of lean production. This section,

Who Is The Greek Beast Cerberus The Protector Of Capitalism
We live in a world controlled by an invisible yet very present force that shapes the way we live our
daily lives. With industry as its host and technology as the blood being pumped into its heart, it is a
force powerful enough to bend politics to fit its needs. Capitalism; a method of industry where
production and distribution are privately or corporately owned, its operation grows through profits,
exploitation of labor, and extinguishing competition. During the Industrial Revolution technology
was on the global stage. Factories and machines are built in existing cities producing and
distributing mass goods on a global scale. Over time this fast production of goods would replace the
old agricultural economy to a modern urban economy. Today the revolution is praised for creating a

Pros And Cons Of Fordism
Fordism – a good idea or a bad one?
The purpose of this paper is to state that Fordism was not a stable production system, even though it
achieved great success when it was first applied by Henry Ford. The Fordism production method
will be critically assessed on the segregation it built between workforce and management and how it
established a dominant American industry. The study will also define the concept of Fordism and
how it influenced the motor vehicle industry, in which this production model was first implemented.
By the beginning of the 20th–century technology had become advanced enough to introduce the
motor vehicle. Despite this, for many years the automobile remained an expensive luxury item
created by craftsmen. It was something only the wealthy could afford. That was until Henry Ford, a
son of the Scientific Movement of Management, developed a new line of thought. He wanted to
make cars available to the "masses" by changing the production process in a way that would reduce
costs, so more people could afford the product. Ford introduced a new approach to production,
which included standardization, specialization and the usage of the assembly line and the conveyor
belt system (Smith, 2011). His business model was so successful that it sparked a revolution in the
entire industry. Even today, a century later, the world is still greatly influenced by Fordism.

Henry Ford: Assembly Line For Mass Production
There was a documentary film about Henry Ford who was a famous industrial pioneer during the
early industrial era. According to the film, one of the Henry Ford's greatest industrial inventions was
assembly line for mass production. Assembly line is a tool many manufacturing industries use to
allow the product come to a person instead of forcing a person to move around. The assembly line is
a manufacturing process which move products from workstation to next workstation where parts are
added in sequence until the final module or product is completed. One of the significant industrial
things mentioned in the film during Henry Ford's time was "Time is a Product" and also "Efficiency
is a Religious".
During Henry's days, his manufacturing was able to improve their production of completing a car in
two hours and 30 mins from completing one in 12 hours. This huge time reduction was because of
the assembly line invention which helped the production rate of Ford's Model T to drop. This great

Disadvantages Of Industrialization
The Industrialization brought many changes to the United States after the devastating Civil War ,
which brought a many losses of life. At the same time, the war helped the country develop even
more materialistic. The Industrialization began in the United States in 1865 after the Civil War it
went developing for the next five decades. The first transactional railroad was completed in 1869 by
workers from China that were paid poorly . There was many more inventions throughout the
Industrialization from 1869–1914 that helped the Nation developed. The Industrialization was a
process that helped the economy transform into something better and individual laborers are
replaced by mass production and craftsman by assembly lines, but even though it meant maybe
more work to many's. This affected many due to the poorly paid laborers who worked hard and did
not get many advantages from that. It helped in ways that the economy grew even more and better
that helped society but not those who were poor. The Industrialization did not much helped many of
the workers, who appeared most likely to be immigrants, many of them and their families lived in
really bad conditions and had horrible working conditions as well with poor pay for the amount of
hours worked, that sometimes those mass productions consisted of child labor.
Industrialization impacted the lives of many including children who worked instead of going to
school to help support their families. Children back in 1908–1912 worked to get money and help
support financially their families many of these children did not attend school whatsoever. As shown

This would have been very difficult without Henry Ford and his excellence in operating the
assembly line. Assembly line is one of the most reliable and durable production techniques ever
invented. In the 20th century, assembly line was amongst one of the most remarkable technological
advancements. Nearly all the products that we use nowadays, we would not have it in the amount
we need and at the prices we have it without the assembly line. The assembly line has played a
major role in modifying the world and it is the main force behind every industry on earth. The use of
assembly line in industries such as automotive, arms, and food has played a key role in supplying
the world with essential products while minimizing the total cost. The operation of assembly line in
various industries has assisted the world in providing crucial products that we need to make our

How Did Henry Ford Change The World
Henry Ford Changed The World
How did the assembly line help influence how manufacturing was improved and made it more
efficient? The invention of the assembly line helped improve manufacturing. Henry Ford found
ways to make an affordable car which was known as the Model T. The profit that was made from the
Model T is what made workers pay be able to increase. The Ford motor company's also made a huge
impact on World War II. Henry Ford's assembly line affected manufacturing, which made the
industrial industry rise and improve.

They built one vehicle at a time. It all started out with just the frame and mechanics brought the
parts to the car, but that wasted too much valuable time. Ford had an idea to improve production.
The idea was to build the vehicle on a bench that moved from one team to the other,but Ford quickly
realized it wasn't fast enough. The year of 1913 Henry Ford made history. He introduced the
assembly which reduced time to build a car from twelve hours to an incredible two hours and thirty
minutes ("Ford's assembly line starts rolling") Although, Henry Ford's assembly line was intended to
make large amounts of vehicles as simple as he could for a reasonable price as possible in order for
him to make a profit. Henry ford's improvements in mass production helped other companies as well
as the assembly line. Other companies that made radios, vacuum cleaners , and washing machines
were even affected by the assembly line because they also used the same method to mass produce
goods. The assembly line was inspired by the production methods from flour mills, breweries,
canneries, and some industrial bakeries and made manufacturing faster than ever

Henry Ford Changed The World
How did the assembly line help influence how manufacturing was improved and made it more
efficient? The invention of the assembly line helped improve manufacturing. Henry Ford found
ways to make an affordable car which was known as the Model T. The profit that was made from the
Model T is what made workers pay be able to increase. The Ford motor company's also made a huge
impact on World War II. Henry Ford's assembly line affected manufacturing, which made the
industrial industry rise and improve.

How Did Clothing Change Over Time
In the last 150 years clothing styles and the creation of clothing has changed drastically. From only
custom–made clothing being available to the wealthy to fitted style clothing of the Renaissance
period, these changes from the past have influenced clothing style and creation in today's society.
With the rise in technology advancements and influx availability, people are able to create and
purchase clothing much easier and quicker than those in the past.
When technology made its way into society, it brought many benefits with it, specifically to fashion
designers. Before the many different technology advancements, many designs for clothes were
created by hand. Once specific designs were created, designers did not have specific visualization ...

The mass production of clothing allowed many people to have many different styles of clothing that
fit in with specific time periods. "They were up–to–date fashion items that could easily be replaced
as styles changed." (Source 1). In other words, with mass production came one of a kind clothing
that was now available to everyone. The clothes created were specific to styles that were popular at
the time and if trends suddenly changed, it was not difficult to create new styles that would be
available to the people. This was a pivotal time for clothing because now styles that were once
limited were now available in variety. Also, with mass production came the shift from women
making their own clothes to just being able to purchase it already made and ready for wear. Once
mass production of women's clothing was established, it met the demand of the "rising urban
professional class." (Source 1). During this time [1920's] women were no longer housewives.
Women were now apart of the work life in society and creating clothes at home was no longer a
common practice. Mass production of women's clothing gave women an intake on the many
different styles of clothing. Overall mass production aided in the development of many different

The Impact Of New Technology During The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was called a revolution because new technologies dramatically changed
American society and its economy in ways that had never before been experienced. Before the
Industrial Revolution, manufacturing was done in what are called cottage industries today.
Experienced and skilled people worked in their own homes, using their hands or hand tools and very
basic machinery, to produce hand–made goods of very high quality. The Industrial Revolution
changed all that. New machines with interchangeable parts and new manufacturing methods such as
the Bessemer Process were developed to make manufacturing quicker, easier, and more profitable.
Forms of power such as steam and electricity were harnessed and put to use in new, efficient ways.
These new technologies changed people's lives in favorable and unfavorable ways. Transportation
was an industry that was majorly affected by new technology during the Industrial Revolution. The
development of the steam engine improved output and productiveness in various industries such as
mining and milling and then advanced to the transportation industry as power for steamboats and
locomotives. Another new technology which developed during the Industrial Revolution was the
subway which, along with steamboats and locomotives, improved and quickened the transport of
people and goods over long distances. Subways enabled people to travel quickly within cities. As
their rails extended and increased, subways also

introduction of Fredrick W Taylor, and how Fordism is derived from the ideas of Taylorism. It also
looks at the main ideas behind Fordism and scientific management. Further in the essay the
importance is to look at the different ideas of Fordism (the mass–production, the $5 day, the division
of labour and management style), and on why it was important at is time and the effect following
from those ideas. The essay has two different paragraphs discussing the positive and the negative

products, in Ford's case the cars, and one example for that was Henry Ford once saying " you can
have the car in what ever colour you like, as long as its black".
Fordism led the transformation from an agriculture to an economy growing because of mass
production and mass consumption. (Fred Thompson 2007)The mass production and mass
consumption led to an economic growth and widespread material advancement (Fred Thomsen
2007; Robert Boyer 2010) One of the main principle of Fordism was the $5 day, which was double
the normal pay and working less hours for those who were qualified, so the workers would stay
loyal and work efficient, but also so his own workers would be able to afford the car he was
producing, and the demand for Ford cars would increase. But for the workers to be qualified they
had to have a satisfactory life–stile, like absence from alcohol (RMIT University 2012) But the $5
day was criticised, from example the socialist daily news people, saying is was a scheme to make it
difficult for the competitors, but in the general public the $5 days was perceived as a risky move, but
also bold, democratic and magnanimous. (Ray Batchelor 1994) It have also been said that Fordism

Concept Explanation Of Mass Production
Concept Explanation
Mass production and customization used to be considered opposites and were considered to be
opposite ends of a spectrum (Beaty, 1996). Mass customization allows that company to provide
products meeting unique specifications while at the same time achieving a low manufacturing cost
by using mass production technologies to provide one–of–a–kind products (Daft, 2013; Welborn,
2007; Pine & Gilmore, 1997). This idea has been around for over a decade, but just recently has
technology caught up with the idea and allowed it to become an efficient and profitable process
(Sherman, 2013; Weintraub, 2013). I am interested in this topic because I see it starting to penetrate
every aspect of my daily life. This is apparent by such ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Our textbook is missing three specific things that are noted in a great deal of the literature and
appear to be very important to the study of mass customization: (1) conflicts as to the proper
definition, (2) essential elements of a proper mass customization scheme, and (3) the benefits and
weaknesses of mass customization in the real world. In the current literature there is a disagreement
as to what level of customization is required for a production process to appropriately fall under the
purview of mass customization. Those who have coined themselves "purist" believe that a mass
customization concept must produce products that fulfills all the requirements of an individual
customer. The "pragmatists" on the other hand say that mass customization is about allowing
customers to choose from an independent and predetermined number of options to meet their needs
(Stojanova, Gecevska, Anisic, & Mancev, 2013). There are two essential elements of a successful
mass customization process: customer involvement and technology. For customization to be
successful the customer himself must contribute and be involved in the specification and
configuration of the product itself so that his or her preferences can clearly be conveyed and met in
the product's creation (Stojanova, Gecevska, Anisic, & Mancev, 2013; Golay & Church, 2013;

Industrial Revolution Dbq Analysis
The Industrial Revolution was a huge turning point in history. The place where the Industrial
Revolution began was in Great Britain because they had many natural resources and a strong
economy. By the 1850's many country villages had grown into industrial towns and cities, and their
inhabitants bought food and clothing in stores that offered a large variety of machine–made goods.
While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily negative consequences for society
because of poor working conditions, it was actually a positive thing for society. Industrialization's
positive effects were transportation became more efficient, more jobs were available, and more
inventions were created.

The ability to get from one place to another is vital, " The Encarta graphic shows the production of
automobiles." (Document 4) An American businessman, by the name of Henry Ford, made the
automobile industry change drastically in a positive way. Ford used the idea of an assembly line and
mass production to produce many cars in an efficient and low costly way. Even though Ford made a
significant impact on the automobile industry, there was many other contributors like Karl Benz and
the Duryea Brothers (Charles and Frank). Like previously mentioned, working in factories was very
common, "In a spinning room tending four sides of warp." (Document 1) Being able to acquire a job
was vital during this time and working in the factories with machines was an ideal place to work.
Richard Arkwright was an important English inventor who invented the water frame, which was a
spinning frame powered by water. Another inventor that had an impact on the textile industry was
James Hargreaves, who invented the Spinning Jenny which could spin eight threads at once. The
invention of railroads made life and transportation superior, "Railroad travel was fast." (Document

Ford's Effect On Manufacturing Industry
On July 30, 1863, an industrialist was born, neither him nor anyone for that matter, knew he was to
forever change the world, he was known as Henry Ford (1863–1947). Ford grew up on his parents '
farm in Michigan. He loved to work on the farm machinery. He was good at fixing things and could
even repair watches. Although Ford did not invent the automobile but his introduction of the Model
T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry, his inventions are still marveled
in the modern world today. Henry Ford installed the World's first moving assembly line in
December 1913. Ford and the assembly line improved work conditions, revolutionized production
and revolutionized American society.
Ford' effect on manufacturing reaches worldwide. Prior to the Industrial Revolution people were
largely self–reliant, but the industrial revolution transported increased separation of labor, and this
separation of labor got a specialization, which carried increased productivity. Specialization,
however, decreased self–sufficiency and people became gradually dependent on one another. Which
was the process of socialization of labor. Ford was capable of making a reliable and low–cost auto
because of his ground–breaking, assembly line. The Assembly line is a sequence of workers,
machines, and parts down which an incomplete product passes, each worker performing a
procedure, until the product is assembled (Mass Production). The assembly line was undoubtedly
