English factory system

The English factory system was a method of mass production that developed during the Industrial Revolution, primarily in the 18th and 19th centuries. It involved bringing workers and machines together in large, centralized factories to produce goods more efficiently than traditional manual craft. This system utilized specialized machinery, division of labor, and organized work processes to increase output and reduce costs. While it revolutionized manufacturing, it also led to changes in labor practices, urbanization, and economic organization, shaping modern industrial economies.
