Nagyszériagyártás

Nagyszériagyártás, which translates to "large-scale production" or "mass production" in English, refers to the manufacturing of a large quantity of identical or highly similar products. This approach is characterized by specialized machinery, assembly lines, and a division of labor, where each worker or machine performs a specific, often repetitive, task. The primary goal of nagyszériagyártás is to achieve economies of scale, reducing the cost per unit by increasing output. This is often facilitated by standardized components and processes, which streamline production and minimize variations.

The concept of nagyszériagyártás became prominent with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, particularly with Henry Ford's implementation of the moving assembly line for automobile manufacturing in the early 20th century. This innovation dramatically increased production speed and lowered costs, making goods accessible to a wider population. Industries that commonly employ nagyszériagyártás include automotive, electronics, consumer goods, and food processing. While it offers significant cost advantages and rapid product availability, nagyszériagyártás can also lead to less flexibility in product design and potential issues with quality control if not managed effectively. The focus is on efficiency and volume over customization.
