        and the Division of Labor - Advantages
        of Specialization
By
        specializing in what they produce, workers become more expert at a
        particular part of the production process. As a result, they become more
        efficient in these jobs, which lowers the costs of production. Specialization also makes it possible to develop tools and machines that
        help workers do highly specialized tasks. Carpenters use many tools that
        plumbers and painters do not. Commercial bakeries have much larger ovens
        and mixers than those used by people who only bake bread and pies once a
        year. And unlike a household kitchen, a commercial bakery has machines
        to slice and package bread. All of these tools and machines help workers
        and businesses produce more efficiently, and lower the cost of producing
        goods and services. The advantages of specialization
        have led to the creation of many very large production facilities in the
        United States and other industrialized nations. This trend is especially
        prevalent in the manufacturing sector. For example, many automobile
        factories produce thousands of cars each day, and some shipyards employ
        more than 10,000 workers.
