Scientific Management

When Taylor was working in metal factory, he noticed some wrong cases, which are:
a- inefficiency
b-laziness
c-work procedures and rules are lack of standards
d-in employment there is no standard for proficiency, capacity and talent
e-there is no standard for work time
Taylor researches are generally according to these situations. He found some solutions to these problems in a rational way to increase efficiency. His foundings are named scientific management or Taylorism. After years of various experiments, Taylor proposed four principles of scientific management:
  1. Replace old work methods with methods based on a scientific study.

  2. Scientifically select, train, and develop each worker rather than passively leaving them to train themselves.

  3. Cooperate with the workers to ensure that the scientifically developed methods are being followed.

  4. Divide work nearly equally between managers and workers, so that the managers apply scientific management principles to planning the work and the workers actually perform the tasks.

These principles were used in many factories, as a result they increased productivity by a factor of three or more.
