My picture of the future is a country ten years hence with double our economic activity spurred on by an exploding technology. I lay my business plans on this picture. Robert E. Wood (1879-1969)

Mass production is not merely quantity production; for this may be had with none of the prerequisites of mass production. Nor is it merely machine production, which may also exist without any resemblance to mass production. Mass production is the focusing upon a manufacturing project of the principles of power, accuracy, economy, system, continuity, and speed. And the normal result is a productive organization that delivers in quantities a useful commodity of standard material, workmanship, and design at minimum cost. Henry Ford (1863-1947)
