[F]REDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR

THE FATHER OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT

[F]REDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR


“Hardly a competent workman can be found who does not devote a considerable amount of time to studying just how slowly he can work and still convince his employer that he is going at a good pace. “

“In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first... The first object of any good system must be that of developing first class men. “

[L]IFE BIOGRAPHY..


HIS LIFE-Born March 20, 1865, into an upper class liberal Philadelphia family-Strict family of Quakers-Taylor was a obsessive compulsive adolescent - always counting and measuring things to figure a better way of doing something. -At age twenty-five, Taylor earned an engineering degree at the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey while holding a full time job (WOW!!!)-Excellent in academic and sport- Works as machinist in Hydraulic company, starts in managing in Midvale Steel Company-After world war industrial boom.-Success in raising output at Midvale Steel: Consultant-His Scientific Management method brought enemy as well as supporter.-Fired and retired. Did not work anymore. Died 1915

Taylor are concern of the problems in factories in 19th century::-• carelessness, • safety, • inefficiencies, • soldiering (worker foot dragging) on the job

Capitalism is growing…Competition rising…Factories growing…

[S]ITUATION AT THE TIME

A new spectrum of management challenges emerged

Why workers not performing:-1. The belief that increased output would lead to less workers.2. Inefficiencies within the management control system such as poorly designed incentive schemes and hourly pay rates not linked to productivity.3. Poor design of the performance of the work by rule-of-thumb

SOLDIERING…

To Taylor, workers are not efficient unless they do a ‘ fair day’s work’ - maximum output the worker capable to do.

[S]OLDIERING


From his observations, Taylor made three key assumptions about human behaviour at work:(1) Man is a rational economic animal concerned with maximising his economic gain;(2) People respond as individuals, not as groups(3) People can be treated in a standardized fashion, like machines

Taylor had a simple view about what motivated people at work - money. He felt that workers should get a fair day's pay for a fair day's work, and that pay should be linked to the amount produced (e.g. piece-rates).

Workers who did not deliver a fair day's work would be paid less (or nothing). Workers who did more than a fair day's work (e.g. exceeded the target) would be paid more.

Published the Principle of Scientific Management in 1911

Taylor’s main ideas:-

1. Separation of planning and Doing2. Manager to plan in advance3. Manager to select and train the worker4. Time study5. Different wage plan (piece rate system/time rate)6. Functional foremanship and division7. Standardization of tools and equipment


[P]RINCIPLE/IDEAS

[P]RINCIPLE/IDEAS

FREDERICK TAYLOR THE FATHER OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT

To measure work and assign portion of work to the people best selected and trained to perform the work.

Right man for the right job

How can we find right person..?

The most obvious weakness in Taylor's approach is that it ignores the many differences between people. There is no guarantee that a "best way" will suit everyone.

Taylor focus not on the top management but more on the floor or the plant management

1. Manager to plan in advance

2. Manager to select and train the worker

At the time, the divide between managements and workers were huge, and this caused many problems.. Such as exploitations, antagonism etc.

[P]RINCIPLE/IDEAS


Saw the need for systematic management to analyze the work

Time motion studies

Is there only one way of performing the ‘best ‘ work? How about differences between peoples and abilities?

Cut down task into small simple task

[P]RINCIPLE/IDEAS


Workers need material incentives to work harder… MONEY

Taylor advocates for permanent increase of wages by employer. (cost covered by increased in output)

Much to his dismay,Wages were cut/slashed by the employer when new increase of output happens, so wage returns to normal

[P]RINCIPLE/IDEAS


Secondly, whilst money is an important motivation at work for many people, it isn't for everyone. Taylor overlooked the fact that people work for reasons other than financial reward.

1. The implications of Taylor's theory for managing behaviour at work were:- The main form of motivation is high wages, linked to output- A manager's job is to tell employees what to do-A worker's job is to do what they are told and get paid accordingly

2.The Frederick W. Taylor cooperators were formed to protect his scientific management movement into the future.

3. Frederick W. Taylor create ‘Education and The Cult of Efficiency’ subject at school in America.

4. Many later followers used time-study that has been develop by him as a means to further exploit and speed up work.

5. Brought many workers more hardship than gain and a distrust of managers.

6. Managers at the Franklin Motor Company using scientific management principles to increase the productivity.

7. Increased productivity and workers earnings at the same time they reduced fatigue.
