Frederick Winslow Taylor

Frederick Winslow Taylor was an American engineer and management consultant, known as the father of scientific management. In the early 1900s, he developed methods to optimize work processes by analyzing and standardizing tasks. Taylor believed that applying scientific principles to management could improve efficiency and productivity in factories. His approach involved time studies, breaking down tasks into smaller steps, and training workers to perform these tasks more effectively. This revolutionary idea reshaped how organizations operate and led to modern management practices, prioritizing efficiency and systematic workflow. Taylor’s principles continue to influence business and management today.
