Scientific Management Theory

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to learn about the Scientific Management Theory by Frederick Taylor. The core content is based on Frederick Taylor, who created the scientific theory of management. The study will also discuss the information such as Taylor's first term, the foundation of his book Shop Management (management workshops), Taylor's second term, which occurred in 1911 when he published his book Principles of Scientific Management, which Taylor said about implementation of scientific management, administration and science, in short, find many points which you can learn more about this theory.

Scientific Management Theory

Introduction

The term management can name both an activity and persons in charge of the activity. As activity, the term derives from the Italian maneggiare, meaning to handle or control a horse, which is itself rooted in the Latinmanus, or hand. In the late 1500s the word was applied to the governing body of a theater and from there to other business activities, including those involved with industrial manufacture. Shifts in the ownership of global manufacturing companies led to what has been termed a managerial revolution, in which direct control and decision-making became invested in neither owning capitalists nor wage-earning workers but in salaried managers (Burnham 1941, Chandler 1977). This shift has influenced both science and technology, with "big science" and "technoscience" increasingly managed by neither science nor engineering workers a development that poses questions of ethical responsibility for both technical professionals and managers. Attempts to systematize informal management techniques into either a science or a technology of management further highlight ethical issues.

Frederick Work of Taylor

Taylor (1856 - 1915) founder of scientific management was born in Philadelphia, EE: UU. Coming from a family of Quakers in early rigid, was educated in the discipline, devotion to working and save. In his earlier studies had direct contact with business and social problems arising from the industrial revolution. In 1878, he began his career as a laborer at Midvale Steel Co., then moving on to be foreman, supervisor, foreman and engineer in 1885 after graduating from Stevens Institute. Employers looking to earn as much in fixing the price of the task, the workers, in turn, reduced to one third the rate of production of the machines to balance. This led Taylor to study the problem of production in detail, because thanks to his partner of progress in the company did not want to disappoint their employers or coworkers. The latter waited for the foremen then do not be hard on the planning of the work piece.Scientific Management

This is due to attempt to apply the methods of science to the problems of administration, in order to achieve high industrial efficiency. The main scientific methods applicable to problems of administration are the observation and mediation. The School of Scientific Management was started in the beginning of this century by mechanical engineer Frederick Taylor, ...
