Post-Fordism

Post-Fordism refers to the economic and social shift that began after the dominance of Fordist manufacturing, which emphasized mass production and standardized goods. In a post-Fordist era, there's a move toward flexible production methods, specialized products, and a more diverse, knowledge-based economy. This change leads to more adaptable work practices, smaller-scale industries, and increased innovation. It reflects a transition from the uniform, assembly-line era to one focused on customization, technological advancement, and service-oriented industries, shaping modern economies and workplaces.
