factory+system

The factory system is a method of manufacturing in which each worker is responsible for a separate part of the assembly of a product in one building. It began in England at the start of the Industrial Revolution. This process of production increased the efficiency of factories and produced a more uniform product but reduced the worker to an unskilled laborer.
