Taylorist Factory Time / 泰勒制工厂时间

Taylorist factory time is 如此打工 30 年：流水线上的面孔与时间’s account of how factory discipline reorganizes the body. 占老师 contrasts agricultural time, which followed seasons and weather, with manufacturing time, where machines, workshops, shifts, and cost recovery push production toward continuous operation.

The source makes the discipline concrete: 12-hour shifts, roughly 11 hours of standing work, short scheduled breaks, detailed process decomposition, line managers, and later QR/SAP-style tracking make time and movement into production variables. This deepens Manufacturing Job Quality by showing how wages and overtime can coexist with fatigue, narrow control, and sensory numbing.

Key Claims

• Factory time is not only a work schedule; it is a way of training bodies to obey production rhythm.
• Taylorist decomposition can raise efficiency and quality while reducing the worker’s control over movement and meaning.
• Digital systems intensify time discipline by embedding tracking into tools, process steps, packaging, and customer visibility.
• Flexible manufacturing changes the order pattern but does not automatically release workers from time pressure.
