First Edition, First Issue. Printed in a small edition for "confidential circulation among the members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers." Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915), an engineer employed by the Bethlehem Steel Company, was the father of 'scientific management'. In the present work, he laid down the main lines of an approach to the problem of increasing efficiency by standardizing processes and machinery, regulating timing and movements, and systematizing 'piece-work' or payment by results. The term 'scientific management' had been coined by a committee of engineers advising on the adoption of Taylor's system of management by certain US railways in 1910. Taylor's system has had a profound influence on modern management thought. PMM 403. Norman 2059.
