- The factory system is a method of manufacturing first adopted in England at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 1750s and later spread abroad. It replaced the putting-out system. The main characteristic of the factory system is the use of machinery, originally powered by water or steam and later by electricity. Other characteristics of the system mostly derive from the use of machinery or economies of scale, such as the use of unskilled labor, division of labor, the centralization of factories, and standardisation of interchangeable parts.
