1. Impacts of Production

2. Usufacturing –
making products for personal use
Crude tools and local materials were
used to make one of a kind items by
hand.
Over time people started to specialize.
Specialization continued and became
concentrated into factories.

3. Factory – - special building where machines are used to manufacture products - first major production era in history Why are factories important? What were their impacts?

4. Factories caused movement from farms to the factories
Factories caused movement from farms to the factories. This created cities, resulting in an industrialized society. Industrialized Society - society based on technology and production of goods or manufacturing

5. Interchangeable Parts - like parts of an assembly are identical allowing them to be interchanged - 2nd major production era in history Why are interchangeable parts important? What were their impacts?

6. Industrial Revolution - when machine-based manufacturing economies began - manual labor and animal–based economies became less prevalent - 3rd major production era in history - A period from the 18th to the 19th century

7. - It started with the mechanization of the textile industries, the development of iron-making techniques and the increased use of refined coal. - Major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and transport had a profound effect on socioeconomic and cultural conditions

8. Why is the industrial revolution important. What were their impacts
Why is the industrial revolution important? What were their impacts? Marked a major turning point in human history; almost every aspect of daily life was eventually influenced in some way.

9. Assembly Line (Production Line) - process in which parts or products are created in a sequential manner - 4th major era of production - made famous by Henry Ford between was a culmination of the developments of the 1800’s such as jigs, fixtures, and machine tools

10. Why is the assembly line important. What were their impacts
Why is the assembly line important? What were their impacts? Creates products faster and cheaper.

11. - 5th major era of production
Automation
- the use of control systems and information technologies reducing the need for human intervention
- 5th major era of production
- greatly reduces the need for human skill requirements
