Problem: The management of a distribution and warehousing company wanted to know how to improve the productivity of its employees. Solution: The technical writing staff at Premier Business Experts prepared a document that was disseminated to its general managers introducing them to the definition and principles of management science, going back to Taylor in 1911, who after observing and studying inefficiencies in the production activities of Bethlehem Steel Workers, delineated the following four principles of scientific management: (1) Replace rules of thumb with better methods based upon scientific tests. (2) Scientifically select, train and develop each worker rather than allowing the workers to passively train themselves. (3) Interact with the workers to make sure that the scientifically developed procedures are being followed. (4) Divide the work fairly between managers and workers, with the managers applying scientific principles to planning and the workers performing the tasks. Next, the report introduced its readers to the methods of scientific testing, delineated by Dr. Deming in 1986, who cited Taylor’s work and who revolutionized Japanese manufacturing with the PDSA Cycle, consisting of the following four stages: (1) PLAN objectives and processes for making improvements. (2) DO on a small scale basis and collect relevant data. (3) STUDY the results to see if objectives were achieved. (4) ACT by implementing the changes that made improvements and repeat cycle. After this was done, the strengths of some of the company’s current procedures were highlighted, before pointing out specific areas where the company needed to do a better job on each of the four Taylor principles and each of the four stages of the PDSA Cycle. While the details of the report are highly confidential, employee productivities have increased!
