Manufacturing technology is the technology of process control. Machines, human labour, and the organization of work control a manufacturing process. The new technology dictates changes in the nature and organization of manufacturing and in the machines.
The English system of manufacture originated in the 18th century when machine tools, such as lathes, were invented. Lathes could fabricate a variety of workpieces. The American system of manufacture emerged in the mid-1800s.
The era of scientific management began in the late 1800s with the works of F.W. Taylor. 1 le was a U.S. mechanical engineer whose principles of manufacturing management are known as Taylorism. He recognized that workers' activities could be measured, analyzed, and controlled. Using a job analysis and time study, he determined a standard rate of output for each job. Next came the era of process improvement in the mid-20th century. It was based on statistical process control (SPC). This statistical process control directed management's attention away from the worker toward machines. Scientific management is concerned with manufacturing problems. SPC is concerned with the dynamism of the process.
NOTE
process control - управление (производственным) статистическим процессом.

The Orange Black Box.
The famous box is familiar to most of us. It is legendary invincible. The “black" box is in fact painted fluorescent orange. It w'as originally called a black box in the days when anything to do with electronics was new and strange. They are painted orange nowadays to make them more easily visible in the event of a crash.
There are two kinds of black box: the Right data recorder (FDR) and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR).
Both arc stores at the rear of an aircraft. There the fuselage meets the upper tail fin - the part of plans that has the best survival record. The same principle applies to human passengers - you're safer at the back.
Despite their reputation, neither box is in fact indestructible. They can withstand a temperature of 1,100° C for 30 minutes and 250° C for 10 hours. They must also be able to survive and impact force of 3,500 times the force of gravity.
Flight recorders are encased in tw'o thickness of platinum. Memory chips holds the flight data. While FDRs make an electronic record of the plane’s mechanical performance, CVRs record the communication between the crew. But they are still only recorded in 80 percent of accidents.

Invincible - непобедимый, нерушимый
