Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915)

Born in Philadelphia,

ELIFORP
Pennsylvania, U.S.

American inventor and

engineer who is known as the

father ofScientific
Management, a l s o k n o w n as

Taylorism
Scientific Management Theory (1911)

SNOITUBIRTNOC
The application of industrial engineering principles to

create a system where waste is avoided, the process and

method of production is improved, and goods are fairly

distributed. These improvements serve the interests of

employers, employees, and society in general.

Scientific Management Theory (1911)

SNOITUBIRTNOC
This can be broken down into four general principles for

management

1 Actively gathering, analyzing, and converting

information to laws, rules, or even mathematical
formulas for completing tasks.
Replace working by "rule of thumb," or simple habit and

common sense, and instead use the scientific method to

study work and determine the most efficient way to

perform specific tasks.

Scientific Management Theory (1911)

SNOITUBIRTNOC
This can be broken down into four general principles for

management

2
Utilizing a scientific approach in the selection and
training of workers.
Rather than simply assign workers to just any job, match

workers to their jobs based on capability and motivation,

and train them to work at maximum efficiency

Scientific Management Theory (1911)

SNOITUBIRTNOC
This can be broken down into four general principles for

management

3
Bringing together the science and the worker so that
the workers apply the scientifically developed
techniques for the task.
Monitor worker performance, and provide instructions and

supervision to ensure that they're using the most efficient

ways of working.
Scientific Management Theory (1911)

SNOITUBIRTNOC
This can be broken down into four general principles for

management

4 Applying the work equally between workers and

managers where management applies scientific
techniques to planning and the workers perform the
tasks pursuant to the plans.
Allocate the work between managers and workers so that the

managers spend their time planning and training, allowing the

workers to perform their tasks efficiently.

Frederick Taylor's scientific management theory can be seen in
nearly all modern manufacturing firms and many other types of

SNOITUBIRTNOC
businesses. His imprint can be found in:

Production Production Process

Planning Control Design

Quality Cost
Ergonomics
Control Accounting
 McDonald’s Corporation
applies Taylor’s principle of Scientific Management into its

business operations by:

SELPMAXE
1)Establishing systems of rewards for meeting
the goals

2)Scientific training

3) Developing a standard method of performing

each job efficiently

1)Establishing systems of rewards for meeting the goals

Taylor stated that the non-incentive Appreciation comes in many

wage systems encourage low forms

McDonald's encourages employees “Employee of the Month”
through many effective ways. Except

the base pay, McDonald's establish
Incentive programs (gift

programs, hard work, dedication,
food, etc)

McDonald's.

2) Scientific training
One of the most important principles of
Scientific Management
Taylor states that each company should
train the workers scientifically rather
than passively leaving them to train
themselves.
McDonald’s even build up a Hamburger
University, it is McDonald's worldwide
management training center located in
Oak Brook, Illinois. It focuses on
providing training exclusively for all
McDonald's Corporation and Franchisees
employees in various aspects of the
business.
SNOITUBIRTNOC
McDonald’s have a strong
tradition of, and belief in,
training, they know its value to
the bottom line of their business.
At crew level, there is
considerable initial and ongoing
training that is consistently
applied to everybody in the
business, whether part, full time,
hourly paid staff or salaried
managers undergoing their
compulsory restaurant training.

3) Developing a standard method of performing each job efficiently
Taylor taught that there was one
and only one method of work that
maximized efficiency and that is
through developing scientific
methods. This involves the gradual
substitution of science for 'rule of
thumb' throughout the mechanical
arts.
McDonald’s has developed a
standard method of performing
each job and the employees can
perform efficiently.
SNOITUBIRTNOC
McDonald's establishes a
series of detailed and strict
working standards which
ensure that every product
from any chain restaurant has
high quality. No matter people
is a cook, a counter person or
a hall cleaner, each kind of
works has normative
operational standards and
written regulations.
 Scientific Management

NOISULCNOC
Scientific Management has dramatically affected today’s

management approaches. Scientific Management has

also made an important contribution to the business world

we see today. The ideas generated by Frederick Taylor still

have a place in current management thinking. Because of

Taylor, production efficiency has improved, products

become more and more plentiful. Much of core of

Scientific Management remains with us today, only been

modified, updated and given a human face.
