Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neo-Fordism develops Fordism with techniques from Japanese management and computer technology to create a manufacturing system which is still efficient, but also flexible enough to adapt to rapidly changing requirements.

Pre-Fordism refers to the craft-based manufacturing that existed before Fordism.
