Frederick Winslow Taylor was born in 1856. Taylor's family was rich enough and a Quaker family from Pennsylvania. His aim was to attend Harvard University and become a lawyer but he didn't have very good eyesight and during the era in which he lived, found that the eyesight problem held him back from a pursuit of a Harvard education.
Taylor started to work as a machinist pupil.He was allowed to study at home and graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology through the correspondence courses that the school offered to Taylor. It was around this time that he began to take on his own management philosophies and implement them at Midvale Steel Works. He started his career at Midavale Steel Wroks as a employer in 1878 and he quickly rose through the ranks at the plant until he became the chief engineer(1894).
Frederick Taylor later went on to develop high speed steel with the help of some colleagues at Bethlehem Steel.He tried to organize new management units but he were not in a good relationship with other managers, so he resigned from his job in 1901.
Frederick Taylor dedicated to passing along his beliefs to others so that they could implement his beliefs into their own workplace environments, Taylor soon published "The Principles of Scientific Management "(1911)and became famous and was dubbed as the "Father of Scientific Management".
F.W. Taylor was convinced that managers had to select and train their employees for the tasks at hand to be successful in business life. His principles of management were solid. He believed that employees needed management and management needed the employees and when the two sides could work together amicably, businesses were able to thrive. Later Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management is called as Taylorism.
Frederick Winslow Taylor was instrumental in the way others began to emulate his business management skills. During the Progressive Era, Taylor was widely accepted for his leadership skills and his ability to make the workplace a more efficient environment for all who were willing to look at his plan for improvement.He was died in 1915 in Philedelphia.

Scientefic Management:
Scientefic management were developed in 1880s and 1890s.Scientefic managemen is also known as Taylorism şs theory of management.This theory is based on analyzes and synthesizes workflow processes and developing labor productivitiy.
-Mass production methods:
Taylorism and Fordism are often thought together because both of them are about mass production methods in manufactoring factories.This kind of task oriented is used todays industry and has made most industrial work menial,repetitive,tedious and depressing: it can be recognized in assembly lines and fast food restaurants.Ford's arguments are started from this point; this repetitive work makes employees work slowest without any punishment.paying the same amount of money to the workers is not a beneficial system because it makes work slowest.Therefore, Ford's aim is the work practice that had been developed in most work environments was crafted, to be very inefficient in its execution. From this he posited that there was one best method for performing a particular task, and that if it were taught to workers, their out put would increase.Taylor explained many concepts that were not widely accepted at the time.For example he thought that labour should include rest breaks so that workers recover their exhaustion.He proved this with the task of unloading ore: employees thought to take rest and productivity went up.
-Division of Labour:
People can not manage themselves and they have to be taken care of administiration so that there is a division of labour between administrators and workers.Taylor explain this situation:Now one of the very first requirements for a man who is fit to handle pig iron as a regular occupation is that he shall be so stupid and so phlegmatic that he more nearly resembles in his mental make-up the ox than any other type. The man who is mentally alert and intelligent is for this very reason entirely unsuited to what would, for him, be the grinding monotony of work of this character. Therefore the workman who is best suited to handling pig iron is unable to understand the real science of doing this class of work. ( ,1911, 59)
Taylor's scientific management consisted of four principles:
1-Replace rule-of-thumb work methods with methods based on a scientific study of the tasks.
2-Scientifically select, train, and develop each employee rather than passively leaving them to train themselves.
3-Provide "Detailed instruction and supervision of each worker in the performance of that worker's discrete task" (Montgomery 1997: 250).
4-Divide work nearly equally between managers and workers, so that the managers apply scientific management principles to planning the work and the workers actually perform the tasks
