About Author

Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856–1915) was an American mechanical engineer and the father of scientific management. He revolutionized industrial efficiency through his principles of 'Taylorism', which emphasized time studies, task specialization, and systematic management. Taylor's approach to optimizing labor productivity laid the foundation for modern management techniques. His influential works, such as The Principles of Scientific Management (1911), advocated for clear division of labor, standardization of tools, and incentives for workers to improve performance. Taylor's ideas had a lasting impact on manufacturing, business practices, and management theories worldwide.
