factory production

Industrial goods creation

Factory production is the manufacturing of goods in a facility using organized labor, machinery, and standardized processes.

The term emphasizes scale and efficiency over craft methods: Factory production made automobiles affordable for ordinary families.

It implies assembly-line techniques, division of labor, and output measured in volume rather than individual pieces.
