Economy of Scale
Efficiency: out/in
Standardization of Parts: all parts are the same
Interchangeable Parts: every part of its kind can be used, it doesn't matter what part you choose
they're all the same
Lower Cost/Prices:created by mass production which in turn creates an economy of scale
Prototypes
Ideas
Experimentation
Inovation
We use jigs and fixtures to guarantee standardized parts and assembly for the pursuit of efficiency and so that all of the output is the same and conforms to the original design
