The Principles of Scientific Management (Illustrated) - More current Impossible!

Frederick Winslow Taylor

Summary

Increasingly, business success depends on good management. And keep in mind that the 'business' here can be a company, a non-profit organization, a company, or even a personal project.There are methods that become disposable and obsolete over time. But in the case of the principles of scientific management you will realize that their pillars are still increasingly valid, needing only to contextualize for the technologies currently used, but the need to treat management more and more as science continues.Several companies fail before completing their second year. Many people try to put their ideas into practice in an amateur way and end up frustrated. In this book, which is a classic of administration, you can observe important concepts such as:1. Leadership2. Productivity3. Division of labour4. Study and times and movements5. Creation of standardized operating procedures6. Need for training and training7. The need for collaboration between managers and employees.8. The importance of planning activities, among others.Want an example of how important this is? Look at the case of the covid-19 pandemic: how important was the planning work, the division of labor, increasing efficiency in large-scale vaccine production. Definition and standardization of hygiene procedures for the population among other things.For a long time, the ideas of scientific management were criticized because they claimed that only managers should think and that workers should only learn and execute, without question.In this book you will see that, even in Taylor's original ideas, there was room for workers to submit proposals to improve processes and that such proposals should be carefully analyzed by management.
