In order to maximise efficiency and inspired by similar moves in the tech industry and predictions for Industry 4.0, some translation companies have recently begun to break tasks down into smaller chunks and to rigidly define and monitor translation processes, a work system sometimes known as Digital Taylorism, harking back to the work on 'scientific management' by Frederick Winslow Taylor in the early 1900s. This is particularly true of audiovisual translation work, which is increasingly platform-mediated, highly collaborative, and requires near-live turnaround times, as was evident from many presentations at Languages & the Media 2018.
