Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Charles Sorensen was indeed instrumental in the development of the moving assembly line. The other options are incorrect. The Mass Customization Era focused on customization rather than just quality. The start of the Globalization Era is not a fixed date, and it has already begun. Eli Whitney was responsible for the concept of interchangeable parts, not Industry 4.0. Linear programming was developed in the mid-20th century, long after the Lead Production Era.
