Mass production, also known as production flow or continuous production, is a production system in large quantities of standard products, including and especially in assembly lines. Together with production work and batch production, it is one of three production methods.

The concept of mass production can be applied to various types of products, from liquids and particles handled in large quantities (such as food, fuel, chemicals, and mined minerals) to small solid parts (such as fasteners) to the assembly of parts these small parts (such as household appliances and cars).

Mass production is a diverse field, but can generally be compared to handicraft production or distributed manufacturing. Some mass production techniques, such as standard sizes and production lines, predate the Industrial Revolution for centuries; however, the introduction of machine tools and techniques for producing interchangeable parts that were developed in the mid-19th century modern mass production can be carried out properly.
