In the USA mass production became a characteristic feature of industrial production in the early 1920s. Even though mass manufacturing had begun to take off in the late nineteenth century, it wasn't until the 1920s that it started to take off as a distinctive feature of US industrial output.

It was possible to boost worker output by accelerating the work rate.
