Division of Labour in Industry |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Division of labour is a basic tenet of industrialization. In division of labour, each worker is assigned to a different task, or step, in the manufacturing process, and as a result, total production increases. As this illustration shows, one person performing all five steps in the manufacture of a product can make one unit in a day. Five workers, each specializing in one of the five steps, can make 10 units in the same amount of time. | ||||||
