“Reflection and fancy are subject to err, but a habit of moving the hand, or the foot, is independent of either. manufactures, accordingly, prosper most where the mind is least consulted, and where the work shop may, with out any great effort of imagination, be considered as an engine, the parts of which are men”
at first it was thought to remove the mind from the person would be the most efficient
then was to remove the body
Taylor thought to add the scientific process to the movement of workers
Taylor’s four principles
know how can be replaced by scientific knowledge
the worker can be educated and rewarded for using this knowledge
a spirit of cooperation must be instilled between workers and management
management must share a role in organizing the work
then henry ford brought back the inhumane work by controlling the pace of production
Then karl marx realised how bad this was and protested it
ford’s idea of production caused the workers to get paid less
this made all domestic products to drop in quality because of people being less educated
we are slowly going back to taylor’s principles
“create constancy of purpose towards improvement”
“institute leadership”
“drive out fear”
” break down barriers between departments”
