The Principles of Scientific Management

The Principles of Scientific Management, developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor in the early 20th century, focus on improving efficiency in work processes. It emphasizes the systematic study of tasks to determine the best methods for performing them, selecting and training workers for specific roles, and using data to guide management decisions. By promoting standardized procedures and measuring productivity, organizations can enhance output and reduce waste. This approach aims to align the interests of workers and management, ultimately leading to improved performance and profitability.
