Industrial revolution was about more productive manufacturing. Prior to industrialization, there were guilds of carpenters, silver smiths, print shops.... The industrial revolution did away with the owner-operator model and replaced it with incremental steps. This meant, workers would specialize in a certain small processes of producing something, rather than making the whole. For example, before the industrial revolution, a tailor would make a suite from start to finish. During industrialization, one worker might specialize in just sewing on buttons. He would sew on buttons and then pass his work to the next person for the next step.
