Producing identical or homogeneous products in large quantities to achieve uniform quality.

• A. Mass Production
• B. Job Production
• C. Standardization
• D. Productivity

Answer: (C)

Standardization is about creating identical products by using fixed specifications, components, and production procedures. When design and processes are standardized, every unit is made to the same tolerances and quality checks, so the output is uniform across large batches. This focus on consistent design and consistent operations makes it easier to achieve uniform quality, train workers, and plan production.

While mass production involves producing in large quantities, it’s the method that can lead to uniform output only when paired with standardized specifications. Productivity is about how efficiently resources are used, not about making products uniform. Job production is the opposite—customized, one-off production.
