Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Searching for a "rational" workplace, turn-of-the-century engineers and industrial architects recast the factory itself in the image of the machine. Indeed, they considered the factory building the "master machine", containing and co-ordinating all of the machinery within. Such rational fact…ory planning improved production speed and the management of workers. Once created, the rational factory transformed the nature of work, both human and mechanical. In this book, Lindy Biggs contends that factory design played a crucial role in the development of American mass production. Her interdisciplinary study draws from the fields of business history, engineering, technology, architecture and theories of modernity. Why did some people want to rationalize the factory, she asks, and how did the system impact those who worked under it?

Condition: as new. Balitimore, MD. :The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 224 pp. - It is argued in this text, that the design of the factory was a crucial factor in the development of American mass production - one that has been overlooked by historians of Taylorism and the industrial efficiency movem…ent. This interdisciplinary study draws from the fields of business history, engineering, technology, architecture and theories of modernity in examining attempts to rationalize the factory and the system's impact on those who worked under it. Designed to address the labour problem , the rational factory eliminated large numbers of workers and forced those who remained to give up traditional work habits and to work systematically. The new factories allowed for easier supervision of labour and increased work efficiency through new machinery and modern shop floor organization that emphasized the atomization of labour. The book focuses on Henry Ford's model factories at Highland Park and River Rouge and analyzes the various design strategies Ford and his engineers employed to maximize output. Illustrated with floor plans and workflow diagrams, it revisits Ford's contributions to mass production theory and should increase our understanding of American industrial society.
