Answer:

The War Production Board (WPB for short) was an agency of the United States government that was founded in 1942 after the United States entered the war on the orders of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The purpose of the WPB was to divide the material, personnel and production resources so that effective armament production could be built and maintained. Donald M. Nelson was chairman until 1944, who was then replaced by Julius A. Krug.   After the surrender of Japan, the agency was dissolved in November 1945.

sammy [17]

According to the statement above:

" How did expanding research and development activities, "scientific management," and mass production reshape American industrial production?What role did General Electric and the Ford Motor Company play in these early twentieth-century developments?"

2. The scientific management and mass production created an economy that was really fast and efficient, independent of skilled laborers, it placed more power in high officials, and made work very boring

Also, the General Electric created the first corporate lab and Ford Motor Company used the assembly line as well.

Hope this helps.
