It was time for the selection of the psychology Scientific Yes Yes personnel who would carry this pig iron. Our first step was to find selection of personnel. However, private sector pays more the proper workman to begin with. We therefore carefully attention to the selection of the personnel. Nowadays, many big 47 tons per day. A careful study was then made of each of companies procure their personnel needs by means of these men.
Finally human resources management and his theories form a basis we selected one from among the four as the most likely man for personnel selection, being one of the most important to start with.

In its everyday employment, management or managing is now listed as one of the most important human activities. Ever since people began forming groups to achieve the ends that they otherwise could not as individuals, managing began to be seen as essential to ensure the coordination of individual efforts.
It is difficult to define management as it is a highly contested concept and there exists no universally-accepted definition of it. But common to all its definitions is the contention that management involves both, the determination and the accomplishment of organizational goals.
It is widely regarded as a technique by means of which the purpose and objectives of a particular human group are determined, clarified and effected. Management has been professed in two different ways- as an art and as a science.
Pioneers of Scientific Management, like Frederick W. Taylor, Henry Gantt, Henry Fayol, Frank and Lillian Gilberts, rejected the contention of management being an art and believed that the management process could be translated into a set of methodologies and techniques which could be learned and communicated.
In this regard, management has developed certain principles, laws and generalizations which are universal in nature and can be applied under similar circumstances of the organizational environment. The real beginning of science of management did not occur until the last decades of the 19th century. Brandies who is believed to have used it in the USA in , the philosophy as such owes its origin to F. Scientific Management can be explained as the thoughtful and systematic approach to the job of management as contrasted with hit or miss rule of thumb.
It stresses rationality, predictability, specialisation and technical competence. The Scientific Management school is primarily attributed to the ideas of Frederick W. Significant Figureheads in the domain of Scientific Management. Gantt, and Harrington Emerson. In the formulation and development of the scientific approach to management, the name of Charles Babbage of England cannot be ignored. Babbage, the mathematician and philosopher, observed British industry from almost half a century earlier than Taylor and initiated the scientific study of management in industry.
There remains no doubt that Babbage was one of the early pioneers of management thought, but his impact on the industry as a whole remained meagre. Born in of well-to-do parents, Frederick Winslow Taylor gave up going to college and started out as apprentice and machinist in , joined the Midvale Steel Works in Philadelphia as a machinist in , and rose to the position of chief engineer after earning a degree in engineering through evening study.
He himself invented a cutting tool, a method of heat-treating tool steel, a steel hammer, hydraulic power loading machine and turning mills. Retired from working in , Taylor devoted his time for research improving upon the techniques of scientific management till his death in Gantt is best known for his development of graphic methods of depicting plans and making possible better managerial control.
He emphasized the importance of time as well as cost in planning and controlling work. Frank and Lillian Gilberth, as husband and wife duo, contributed extensively towards the concept of scientific management and were primarily responsible for analysis of time and motion study of workers, thus improving upon time and motion elements by eliminating unnecessary motions. They were also responsible for other management tools such as the process chart, flow diagrams, and merit rating system for employees.
Harrington Emerson emphasized the great productivity of correct organization and propounded twelve principles of efficiency. Gantt, Emerson and Frank and Lillian Gilberth were also among the immediate disciples of Taylor, to mention only a few.
Increase in the rate of production by use of standardized tools, equipment and methods. Improvement in the quality of the output by research, quality control and inspection devices. Reduction in the costs of production by rational planning, regulation and cost control techniques. Elimination of wastes in the use of resources and methods of manufacturing. Placement of the right person on the right job through scientific selection and training.
Relating wage payments to the efficiency of the workers. The haphazard application of managerial skills and faulty work methods led to great loss in productivity and wastage of human efforts, often culminating in widespread labour troubles.
As a management physician, Taylor proceeded to diagnose vigorously the causes of industrial ailment. He averred that three main factors were responsible for all the major prevailing problems- accumulation of waste, breakdown of production, inefficiency in the use of resources and capital, conflicts between workers and employees. First, the prevalence of a fear-psychosis or a growing sense of insecurity among the workers, who felt that increased productivity could ultimately lead to unemployment and thus prove detrimental to their vital interests.
Second, the management systems and techniques that were feeble and faulty, inhuman and unscientific. And third, inefficient work methods resulting in improper guidance and unplanned and aimless supervision. His major concern throughout most of his life was that of increasing efficiency in production, not only to lower costs and raise profits, but also to make possible increased pay for workers through their higher productivity.
He was well aware of systematic restrictions of output by the workers, but believed it was simply due to a lack of understanding which could be removed by a rational scheme founded on four basic principles. First, a true science of work, based on observation and management as regards the fair quantum of a day's work by the worker, must be developed. Second, the method of scientific selection, proper training and placement of the worker to the task to which he is best suited must be adopted.
Third, the bringing together of the science of work and the scientifically selected and trained men so that the employee could have the opportunity of earning a high rate of pay, while the employer could obtain a low cost of production. And finally, the constant and willing cooperation between the employer and employees to achieve the benefits of scientific management should be retained. While reaching to these four principles, Taylor had maintained an assumptional thesis that all work processes are separable into units; the efficiency of each unit can be tested and improved; the technique can be extended upwards in management so that, at last, whole business establishment and governments, even whole societies, may be made more rational and efficient.
He had little doubt that once the best working procedure was taught to a worker and his pay was tied to his output, he could be induced to produce the maximum physically-possible output as calculated by the time and motion engineers. Taylor rejected the idea of traditional type of authority or military style of management based on unitary control, where the worker received orders from one man, the foremen.
Instead, he preferred the adoption of the principle of functional management where he believed that the greatest efficiency could be achieved only by dividing work into its component parts and training men to a very high performance level. He proposed that under the system of functional management, every production worker would have 8 bosses, each of whom would give orders in his functional specialty. Of the eight functional bosses, the first four will be responsible for planning and the remaining four for execution.
This concept of division of work between planning and execution was subsequently incorporated in the staff specialist in line and staff concept. He also advocated the exception principle. According to this concept, decisions which recur frequently should be reduced to a routine and delegated to subordinates, leaving more important issues and exceptional matters to superiors. The reports going up to higher managers should be streamlined so that they only need to look at the exceptions, cases better or worse than the average.
The relieving of higher executives from details allows them more time to devote to top policies and crises that arise. Hence, the philosophy of principles of scientific management can be summarised as under; 1. Science, not rule of thumb 2. Harmony, not discord 3. Co-operation, not individualism 4. Working for maximum output, not restricted output 5.
It is true that Taylor's work centered on the shop; however, for him, the principles of workshop were the principles of management for all types of organisation. It faced several criticisms across the spectrum of people- employees, employers, psychologists, common masses. Following are few of the widespread shortcomings: 1.
