	Mass production - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mass Production (also called Flow Production) is the production of large amounts of standardized products on production lines.
		Mass production is notable because it permits very high rates of production per worker and therefore provides very inexpensive products.
		During the Industrial Revolution simple mass production techniques were used at the Portsmouth Block Mills to manufacture ships' pulley blocks for the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.

	Mass Production
		The mass production process itself is characterized by mechanization to achieve high volume, elaborate organization of materials flow through various stages of manufacturing, careful supervision of quality standards, and minute division of labour.
		The major experiments that eventually led to mass production were first performed under the aegis of the military.
		But mass production, although allowing lower prices, does not have to mean low-quality production.

	Mass customization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pine suggested a business model that he called the 8-figure-path which describes the process from invention to mass production to contionous improvement to mass customization and back to invention.
		Mass customization, in marketing, manufacturing, and management, is the use of flexible computer-aided manufacturing systems to produce custom output.
		If an enterprise's marketing department offers individual products (atomic market fragmentation) it doesn't often mean that a product is produced individually, but tends to mean instead that similar variants of the same mass produced item are available.

	Mass Production
		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.
		A major problem of mass production based on continuous or assembly line processes is that the resulting system is inherently inflexible.
		Production volume must be carefully estimated because the selection of techniques depends upon the volume to be produced and anticipated short-term changes in demand.

		Craft production, revitalized as a complement of mass production, is used to preserve the classical view with a slight amendment to account for the exception of small firm survival
		Attempt to explain: theory of industrial dualism: a second and contrary form of production is inherent in the logic of mass production; general goods cannot be specialized enough to meet needs of firms engaged in mass production: “the special-purpose machinery required for mass production cannot itself be mass-produced” (27)should lead to revitalization of craft sector
		Mass production: the cost of making any particular good could be dramatically reduced by replacing human skill with machinery (decomposition of tasks, increased accuracy and output)

		The social institutions of mass production --- collectively referred to as Fordism --- began to emerge in the US early in the twentieth century and were at the center of a decades-long process of social struggle which extended into the immediate post-World War II era.
		Henry Ford (1863--1947) is conventionally credited with synthesizing the various elements constituting the modern model of mass production which bears his name, and which is often said to date from the development of the first moving assembly lines, put into operation at Ford's Highland Park, Michigan plant in 1913--1914.
		Yet, while the system of mass production generated the potential for capital and its managerial agents to exert greater control over the performance of work, it did not guarantee the realization of that potential.

	Digital music and subculture
		As Scott argues, music becomes influential in production spheres through "a circle of auditors that is gradually widened" (outward, that is, from band to producer to record label to promoter to local audience to radio to distributor to TV channel to mass audience, with numerous intermediaries, negotiating trust and meaning, betwixt) [49].
		Their approaches to the subject of the mass audience were distinct, with Adorno focusing on music aesthetics using an underlying critique of Enlightenment philosophy, and Benjamin oriented toward aesthetics of visual art and film.
		Still, their analyses of mass audiences were rather consistent, in that they characterized mass audiences as passive, merely receiving music and film from entertainment producers and companies.

	Popular Culture -- PRODUCTION ANALYSIS
		Whatever else popular culture may be, it is deeply embedded in capitalist, for-profit mass production.
		Most important, production analysis draws attention to the fact that no analysis of popular culture is complete unless it sees that culture in the wider, in many ways determining, context of a general political economy.
		Fourth, production analysis looks at the process by which the often terrible workplaces in which pop items are produced are made invisible to the wealthier folks who consume the beautiful or entertaining items.
