Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Primer of Scientific Management
The publishers of the American Magazine printed serially in their issues of March, April, and May, 1911, "The Principles of Scientific Management," by Frederick W. Taylor, M. E., Sc. D.
As a result, hundreds of letters came to them from their readers from all parts of the world, with requests for further information on the subject of the elimination of unnecessary waste in human effort.
These letters were all handed to Mr. Gilbreth to answer the questions they contained, and this book is the result. The above fact explains, in part at least, why this book, is not a complete treatise on Scientific Management.
Mr. Gilbreth's life work has been the elimination of unnecessary waste and fatigue in the operations of human labor. As a follower of Mr. Taylor, he has been able invariably to decrease labor costs and increase wages simultaneously.
The author will welcome any further questions from any interested reader which the present volume does not cover.
