F.W. Taylor is known as the father of scientific management. He worked as a worker at Midvale steel company and published many papers on scientific management. Taylor's contributions include separating planning from doing work, implementing functional foremanship with specialized roles, analyzing jobs through time and motion studies, standardizing tools and processes, scientifically selecting and training workers, offering financial incentives, and advocating for cooperation and maximum output. Scientific management aims to replace rule-of-thumb practices with science-based efficiency. However, some critics argue it took too mechanical a view of workers and lacked consideration for human aspects.

science.

 Cooperation.
 Maximum Output.
 Development of Workers

4. 1.Seperation of planning and doing:-
Taylor emphasized the separation of planning aspect from actual doing
of work. Before Taylors Scientific Management, worker used to plan
about how he had to work and what necessary instruments are
required for that.
2.Functional Foremanship:-
Taylor evolved the concept of functional foremanship based on
specialization of workers. In this eight persons are involved to direct
activities of workers.
In planning:-
•Route Clerk
•Instruction Card clerk
•Time and Cost Clerk
•Disciplinarian
In Doing:-
•Speed Boss
•Maintenance Boss
•Inspector Boss
•Gang Boss
Elements and tools of scientific
management

5. 3.Job Analysis:-
Job analysis was undertaken to find out the best way of doing the things.
Can be determined by :-
Time Study.
Motion Study.
Fatigue Study .
4.Standardisation:-
It should be maintained in respect of instrument and tools, period of
work , amount of work, cost of production etc.
5.Scientific selection and training of workers:-
In this he said workers should be selected on the basis of their
education , work experience , aptitude, physical strength etc.

6. 6.Financial Incentives:-
According to this the one who produces more would get more rate and
the one who produces less would get less rate.
7.Economy:-
Economy was the basic factor by which Taylor clarified by giving
examples that how resources are wasted by not following scientific
management.
8.Mental Revolution:-
Scientific Management depends on mutual cooperation b/w
management and workers. For this co-operation , there should be
mental change in both parties from conflict to co-operation.

7. Principles of Scientific Management
1.Replacing rule of thumb with science:-
Taylor emphasized that in scientific Management, organized
knowledge should be applied. The use of Scientific Method denotes
precision in determining any aspect of work.
2.Harmony in group of action:-
Taylor has emphasized that attempts should be made to obtain
harmony rather than discord.

8. 3.Cooperation:-
Scientific management involves achieving co-operation rather than
chaotic –individualism . It is based on co-operation and mutual
confidence.
4.Maximum output:-
Taylor hated inefficiency and deliberate curtailment of production . His
concern was with the large size of productivity.
5.Development of workers:-
In Scientific Management all workers should be developed to the
fullest extent possible.

9. LIMITATIONS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT:-
1.There were many of the followers of taylor who took
aggressive mechanical view of production and sidelined
human aspect at the workplace. This created aggressive
attitude among the workers.
2.The work used to be performed under close and strict
supervision based on authoritarian approach. Workers were
not allowed to raise their voice even for genuine grievances.
3.There was lack of scientific standardization of work and
whatever standards used to be set by the management ,the
workers had to follow strictly.

10. 4.The most crucial element which was under contention was
the differential peace rate system. The workers even the
efficient ones and their unions, oppose this system on a plea
that it was a new method of exploiting workers by the
industrialists.
