Frederick Taylor's Principles of Management

• Improvement in task performance

  • Studies how tasks are performed and experimenting with different procedures to find the best way in performing a certain task.
  • "One way is the right way."
• Codification of new methods of performance [into written rules and standard operating procedures and processes]

  • When best procedures in performing a certain task have been determined, it should be recorded to be stipulated and taught.
  • Aka, setting a "standard procedure/guidelines/policies" in task performance
• Selection and training of employees [with special abilities to carry on tasks]

  • All employees should undergo job training so long as they plan to work or are currently working.
  • Specialization and efficiency are improved through training
• Develop a system of remuneration for workers that excel

  • In short, salary or compensation in exchange for work.
