Automobile
The first automobile to be mass produced in the United States was the 1901 Curved Dash Oldsmobile, built by the American car manufacturer Ransome Eli Olds (1864-1950). Olds invented the basic concept of the assembly line and started the Detroit area automobile industry. But around 1913, American car manufacturer Henry Ford (1863-1947) was credited with inventing an improved assembly line by installing the first conveyor belt-based assembly line and was able to reduce production costs for cars by reducing the assembly time.
Food
Consistency has become a hallmark of fast food - in each chain, restaurants look alike and meals taste the same. The food itself is mass produced in a factory and then frozen. Restaurants store this frozen food in large, walk-in freezers. Cooks reheat it rather than making it from scratch. This is because the factory adds artificial and natural flavors to the food to make sure it all tastes the same. These flavors are manufactured separate factories. The equipment in the kitchen cooks all of the food for the same amount of time. For example, in some chains, a conveyor belt carries hamburger patties through a broiler. The broiler cooks the patties on both sides simultaneously, and the conveyor belt makes sure they're cooked for precisely the right amount of time. The employees in different restaurants follow the same instructions for cooking, dressing and packaging the food.
Furniture
The traditional mass produced furniture industry had several flaws. Manufacturers developed key lines, and simply increased production at specific times of the year. However, this would often result in bottlenecks in both the design and production processes. But this was often a leap of faith - reliant on sufficient orders being placed to make production cost-effective. Many factories had been built to produce large quantities of mass produced furniture, but just could not produce small quantities cost-effectively. So, when orders tailed off, production costs for each unit produced rose exponentially. This rigid approach to the manufacture of furniture led to many companies either relocating or outsourcing their production.

There are many other things that are being mass produce as the world is getting more and more advance, so only those above will be listed, for now...
I haven’t any word to appreciate this post.....Really i am impressed from this post....the person who create this post it was a great human..thanks for shared this with us.
