American industrialist Frederick Taylor, realized that in a system of factory production where machines were expensive and heavy but humans were cheap and malleable, it was more efficient to arrange the workers around the machines than to arrange the machines around the workers.

Where Ford’s approach was driven by practical matters, Taylor’s approach was more scientific in nature, giving rise to the term “scientific management.” In layperson’s terms, where Ford treated people like cogs in a machine, Taylor approached workers as if they were machines themselves—machines that could be optimized for maximum efficiency, given

La méthode de Taylor consiste essentiellement en ceci : d’abord, on étudie scientifiquement les meilleurs procédés à employer pour n’importe quel travail, même le travail de manœuvres (je ne parle pas de manœuvres spécialisés, mais de manœuvres proprement dits), même la manutention ou les travaux de ce genre ; ensuite, on étudie les temps par la dé

Cet aperçu permet de comprendre en quoi a consisté l’originalité de Taylor et quels sont les fondements de la rationalisation. Jusqu’à lui, on n’avait guère fait de recherches de laboratoire que pour découvrir des dispositifs mécaniques nouveaux, pour trouver de nouvelles machines, tandis que lui a eu l’idée d’étudier scientifiquement les meilleurs

Leur but, comme le définissait Taylor en 1911 dans ses Principes d’organisation scientifiques des usines, était d’identifier et d’adopter, pour chaque tâche, la « seule meilleure méthode » de travail, et donc, de « substituer progressivement la science aux vieilles habitudes dans tous les arts mécaniques

Taylor’s approach was more scientific in nature, giving rise to the term “scientific management.” In layperson’s terms, where Ford treated people like cogs in a machine, Taylor approached workers as if they were machines themselves—machines that could be optimized for maximum efficiency, given the right physical and psychological conditions.
