Fordism  

Definición

  • Fordism is named after American industrialist Henry Ford, who pioneered the mass production of automobiles during the early 20th century using standardized job tasks, interchangeable parts (which date back to gun maker Eli Whitney), and the moving assembly line. Ford's methods, which were very successful, were widely imitated by other industries and soon became almost universal throughout the North American, European, and Japanese economies.
