Here's a short introduction to Fordism!
Detroit was developed by the car industry; Detroit became a large city with a worker's district after Ford started his factory. Because Detroit was close to raw materials such as iron, the industry in the city could develop easily. (Ruhosting)
Eindhoven is the fourth largest manufacturer of The Netherlands because of the impacts of Fordism. At first, the city was developed mostly by the company Philips. Then, Gerard and Anton, two brothers, started a glowlamp factory. They went to Eindhoven because of the surplus of workers compared to a lacking number in rural areas. The factory progressed and began to produce other products; this progress developed quarters of typical workinghouses and a large complex of industries. (Ruhosting)
Nike is currently undergoing a post-Fordist transition, integrating new technology with old assembly lines to greatly increase products while minimizing the amount of work needed. Nike currently employs about 26,000 people through multiple countries. Because it is spread throughout the world, it also exemplifies post-Fordism by its flexibility toward the surrounding culture-- meaning that the swoosh, so popular in America, is changed to other symbols in different parts of the world.(Sweatshop USA)
Japan's factories are beginning to employ multi-skilled, permanent workers. Even though these workers are paid more, they are able to produce more easily, raising more of a product.
1. supply chain: parts assembled into components that are then assembled together to create larger finished products (AP 2013); used in mass production
2. just-in-time production: production strategy that strives to improve a business return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs (Wikipedia); spread of just-in-time production methods transformed the factory
3. retailer services: when the retailer purchases goods on products in large quantities from manufacturers directly or through wholesale and then sells smaller quantities to consumers for a profit (AP 2013); (Costco) the large quantities are produced in mass production
