sorozatgyártási

Sorozatgyártás, commonly referred to as mass production, is a manufacturing process that involves the large-scale production of identical or highly standardized products. This method is characterized by the use of specialized machinery, assembly lines, and often a division of labor, where each worker performs a specific, repetitive task. The primary goal of sorozatgyártás is to achieve economies of scale, thereby reducing the per-unit cost of production.

The historical development of sorozatgyártás can be traced back to the Industrial Revolution, with significant advancements in the early 20th century, notably by Henry Ford and his implementation of the moving assembly line for automobile production. This innovation drastically reduced the time and cost required to manufacture vehicles, making them accessible to a wider population.

Key features of sorozatgyártás include high volume output, interchangeability of parts, and a focus on efficiency and standardization. This approach allows for consistent quality control and predictable production schedules. While highly effective for many goods, it requires substantial initial investment in tooling and equipment and may lack the flexibility for customized or low-volume production. Examples of products typically manufactured using sorozatgyártás include automobiles, electronics, consumer goods, and many types of processed foods.
