Mass production refers to the making of large quantities of standardized products. The process involves division of labour and each worker specializes in one or two tasks‚ doing repetitive work. On the other hand‚ the craftsman is the expert who is solely responsible for all the steps involved in producing the product. There is assumption that the craftsman is the master who has skill‚ and expertise to ensure that all his products are of a good quality. Whether mass production will inevitably lead

1. Briefly describe salt production from brine production to finished round cans. Salt is produce by drilling the surface for about 2‚400 feet below. Then‚ water is infused in this cave; thus‚ salt is dissolved with the water. The resulting brine is then pumped in the surface‚ boiled and when it evaporates‚ salt crystals will occur with some moisture but can be removed through the drying process. This happen continuously for about 6 weeks but there will come a point where output will reduce (normal

And even though the price of fuel has decreased in the following weeks‚ the United States is responsible for nearly one third of the world ’s fossil fuel consumption every year. Millions of gallons of gasoline are burned every day. In today ’s society combustion engines are relied on for the majority of our transportation needs. Some people might blame the Gulf War for a loss of fuel supplies. The truth is

BOYAN JOVANOVIC New YorkUniversity The Diversification of Production produce more than one product. In this sense their production is diversified‚ or horizontally integrated. This paper addresses two questions. First‚ why have firms become more diversified over the past century? And second‚ why are diversified firms more oriented toward research and development (R&D) than nondiversified firms? I tackle these two questions under the assumption that a firm diversifies to maximize its efficiency
