Craft Production VS Mass Production

There will be always some argument about craft and mass production, some might say craft production is better than mass production, some say otherwise.


Craft Production
Mass Production
Workers
The workers know about the whole process as they will be the one hand crafting most of the product, to do that they must be skill enough to meet the clients or the boss needs. They are also self-reliant.
The workers only know parts of the process as they were in charge on that certain part. They don’t need to have much skills on making the product but they will have to know how to operate the machines. They also have to be dependent.
Product
The product are usually being customize for an individual if someone requested.
The product are usually in a common or standard design as they were produce in a mass amount in a short period of time.
Advantages
The price of the product is flexible depends on how much work must be done.
The products are usually inexpensive and easy to repair of discard.
Disadvantages
The products are usually expensive and long apprenticeship is needed to meet the requirement of skills to make a nice crafting product.
The designs are usually rigid and the workers usually alienating work.

There are still many arguments between this two production. But of course different people will have different point of view about it.
