Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical analysis of the growth of the standardization and simplification movement, a recent development in organizing industry and commerce that has been facilitated by modern machinery and mass production. Beginning in the 1920s, technical societies and trade associations began developing their own standardization and simplification activities, which resulted in the formation of the American Standards Association (ASA) in 1918, a federation of national organizations working together to develop voluntary industry standards through consensus and cooperation. These standards have had a major impact on various industries, developing requirements for interchangeability of supplies, specific tests for finished products, and improving general safety. The author explores the standards and specifications developed by the ASA and other organizations, as well as the processes and procedures used in their development. These standards have profoundly influenced product design, procurement, distribution, and international trade, providing a valuable resource for anyone interested in the impact of standardization on industry and commerce. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781390603620_0
