Mass production is a manufacturing process that involves creating large quantities of identical products efficiently. This method often uses assembly lines, where each worker or machine performs a specific task, allowing for faster production rates and lower costs. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, electronics, and consumer goods. The concept of mass production was popularized by Henry Ford in the early 20th century with the production of the Model T automobile. This approach not only increased output but also made products more affordable for consumers, significantly impacting the economy and society.
