Question

How did the division of labor make factories more productive?

If several workers were used to create one product, production could continue even if one person got sick.
Dividing the tasks among many workers kept them from getting tired, which meant they could work longer hours.
Division of labor allowed workers to perform every task required to make a product, so they could switch tasks easily.
If each worker did just one step over and over, he or she could get really good and really fast at it.

Answer 1

The last option.

Answer 2

I think it would be C, why do u think it's D?

Answer 3

I'm not an expert, but I think it's D because the idea is not to train a worker in making the entire product, it's to do each step of the manufacturing as efficiently as possible. Having one person become a sort of expert in their area allows for this. (Each step will be max efficiency).

Answer 4

I would say C. Hope I helped a little. :)

Answer 5

dear I'm stuck in a bender here, both sound convincing

Answer 6

Let me see if I can find any information on this that might help. give me a moment dear~

Answer 7

This is a lot but this might help.
The division of labour is the separation of tasks in any economic system so that participants may specialize. Individuals, organizations, and nations are endowed with or acquire specialized capabilities and either form combinations or trade to take advantage of the capabilities of others in addition to their own. Specialized capabilities may include equipment or natural resources in addition to skills and training and complex combinations of such assets are often important, as when multiple items of specialized equipment and skilled operators are used to produce a single product. The division of labour is the motive for trade and the source of economic interdependence.

Because of the large amount of labour saved by giving workers specialized tasks in Industrial Revolution-era factories, some classical economists as well as some mechanical engineers such as Charles Babbage were proponents of division of labour. Also, having workers perform single or limited tasks eliminated the long training period required to train craftsmen, who were replaced with lesser paid but more productive unskilled workers.[1] Historically, an increasing division of labour is associated with the growth of total output and trade, the rise of capitalism, and the increasing complexity of industrialised processes. The concept and implementation of division of labour has been observed in ancient Sumerian (Mesopotamian) culture, where assignment of jobs in some cities coincided with an increase in trade and economic interdependence. Division of labour generally also increases both producer and individual worker productivity.

In contrast to division of labour, division of work refers to the division of a large task, contract, or project into smaller tasks—each with a separate schedule within the overall project schedule. Division of labour, instead, refers to the allocation of tasks to individuals or organizations according to the skills and/or equipment those people or organizations possess. Often division of labour and division of work are both part of the economic activity within an industrial nation or organization.

Answer 8

It's a lot, but I believe the first paragraph is the only one we really need. Also:
Division of labor can lead to a large increase in efficiency for two key reasons. Allocational efficiency makes the best use of a particular worker's skill. For example, a worker who is good with numbers can do a better job on inventory control than one who is not. Technical efficiency arises from a division of labor by reducing the transition time between tasks. A worker who completes painting a car, for example, does not then have to put down his painting tools and pick up the tools needed to assemble the car, as that job goes to a different worker.

Oh, Im just happy to help! I must go for now I hope I at least helped a little bit my dears, I hope to help you soon , bye~
