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. [[ZhanTeacher|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 [[FactoryDisciplineAndSensoryNumbing|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.
