Methods for organizing work and production, from scientific management and interchangeable parts to lean and just-in-time manufacturing. A member belongs here when the cited article describes it as a production or work organization method. The group is one of the groupings under this field in the Technology Atlas, and each member keeps its own entry with its own cited sources and its own place in the field. Its members appear in the Browse By view for the field, so a reader can move from this group to each member entry and to the sources cited there.

Fordism (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Fordism, Lead sectionQuote, Has Member: Fordism, Lead section
Fordism is an industrial engineering and manufacturing system that serves as the basis of modern social and labor-economic systems that support industrialized, standardized mass production and mass consumption.
Design for manufacturability (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Design for manufacturability, Lead sectionQuote, Has Member: Design for manufacturability, Lead section
Design for manufacturability (DFM), also known as design for manufacturing, is the engineering practice of designing a product to reduce the cost of its manufacture and to make its manufacture easier, and often the two aspects are intertwined.
Flexible manufacturing system (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Flexible manufacturing system, Lead sectionQuote, Has Member: Flexible manufacturing system, Lead section
A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of flexibility that allows the system to react in case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted.
Concurrent engineering (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Concurrent engineering, Lead sectionQuote, Has Member: Concurrent engineering, Lead section
Concurrent engineering (CE) or concurrent design and manufacturing is a work methodology emphasizing the parallelization of tasks (i.e. performing tasks concurrently), which is sometimes called simultaneous engineering or integrated product development (IPD) using an integrated product team approach.
Scientific management (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Scientific Management, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Scientific Management, Introduction
Scientific management is a theory of management that analyzes and synthesizes workflows.
Interchangeable parts (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Interchangeable Parts, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Interchangeable Parts, Introduction
Interchangeable parts are components that are identical for practical purposes.
Lean manufacturing (Wikipedia)
