Fredrick Winslow Taylor ( March 20,
1856 - March 21, 1915) commonly
known as ’Father of Scientific Management’ started his career as an
operator and rose to the position of chief engineer. He conducted various
experiments during this process which forms the basis of scientific management.
It implies application of scientific principles for studying & identifying
management problems.
According to Taylor, “Scientific
Management is an art of knowing exactly what you want your men to do and seeing
that they do it in the best and cheapest way”. In Taylors view, if a work is
analysed scientifically it will be possible to find one best way to do
it.
Hence scientific management is a
thoughtful, organized, dual approach towards the job of management against hit
or miss or Rule of Thumb.
