Question:
What is the basic feature of post-Fordist production management?
Options:

A centralised production system with a large factory and a working force with its dependent population.
The nurturing of a labour force with a centralised plant and related amenities.
Correct Answer:
Non-centralised form of production which is dispersed in different locations based on the availability of cheap labour and other resources.
Explanation:
In the post globalized era, the production process has radically altered with these changes the labouring population has become very vulnerable and insecure. This flexibility of labour often works in favour of the producers. Instead of mass production of goods at a centralised location (Fordism), we have moved to a system of flexible production at dispersed locations (post-Fordism).
