Just try translating any of the below into French and you will see that \"industrialization\" fits perfectly.

Anyway, it is the term here.

Industrialisation d’un produit
standardisation


Explanation:
This may not fit your context at all, but the other day, I used standardisation when the text was talking about the "industrialisation" of roll-out/data migration procedures for a software package.
Obviously, "mass production" and other similar terms as suggested by the others were the first thing that came to my mind at the time, but since this was talking about only a handful of sites, "mass" seemed a bit excessive !!

Anyway, I only mention it in case you too are suffering at the hands of an author who likes to use buzz words irrespective of their accuracy for the situation being described !
Good luck.

to industialize [the production of] a product / something


Explanation:
is perfectly common (outside the kitchen, that is) in the USA, and it may be made to fit in this case. True, the nominal version is a little less euphonic.

Also: see Am Heritage Dict under industrialize (transit verb, #2). Of course, if Snow White has never heard it ... I don't know ...

I do not like the glosses, because they DO change the meaning. To industrialize is to turn to an industrial mode of production, often (but not always) just \"to start producing\" (industrially!).

neutral  Tony M: Trouble is, it is so much MORE commonly used in such ways a 'industrial revolution' or 'industrialized nations', i think this rather gets in the way of the 'basic' meaning; also, in French, it can mean something a lot simpler...

Industrialisation d’un produit
putting a product into production


Explanation:
...but of course that makes for horrid English!

It's yet another of those examples where the French use a noun, while we would use a verbal expression.

Depending on the structure of your surrounding text, I can only suggest you try and work something around my suggestion, trying to get away from the gerund if you possibly can.

HTH!

\"go into production with...\"

Might be another way round it.

I do agree with Jane\'s idea of \'mass production\' etc., but there are times when it is used in French where that simply would sound odd; and also, it is often used for the stage beofre that, if you like, the \'production engineering\' stage of actually GETTING it to the mass-production stage; another level of product development, if you like.

So, I say again, I believe it all depends on exactly HOW this term is being used in your wider context

  -> Thanks, Yakov! Yes, that seems like another good possibility, though again, IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT!

commercialization


Explanation:
If this is in a semi-marketing context, then "commercialization" is a standard term for the final stage in the new product development process. See refs below... (Though "entry into the production process" and similar are also good.)

From the first URL:
New Product Development (NPD): The overall process of strategy, organization, concept generation, product and marketing plan creation and evaluation, and commercialization of a new product."

Jane\'s \"mass production\" is also good...
