Frederick Winslow Taylor


Frederick Winslow Taylor who was an American mechanical engineer was born in Philadelphia on March 20,1856.He is known as "the father of scientific management".He was one of the intellectual leaders of the Efficiency Movement.Although he wanted to attend Harvard University ,he had to consider another career because of poor eyesight.In 1874 he became an apprentice patternmaker that would inform the rest of his career.He started the perform his new ideas about the industrial management could be formulated as an academic discipline.In 1903, he studied on scientific management of companies.Then "The Principles of Scientific Management" is published in 1911 as a result of his researches.The system he describes in his book is an actual composite of everything he had learned from trying different things at many companies.His approach is also often referred to as Taylor's Principles or as Taylorism.Taylor's Scientific Management consisted of four principles:

1-Replace rule-of-thumb work methods with methods based on a scientific study of the tasks.
2-Scientifically select, train, and develop each employee rather than passively leaving them to train themselves.
3-Provide "Detailed instruction and supervision of each worker in the performance of that worker's discrete task".
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
