Introduction

In his book, The Principles of Scientific Management, Fredrick Taylor, Father of the Scientific Management, called for developing scientific thought-out and specified foundations and principles for maximizing the productivity of the employees. Such principles were but a response from the father of the scientific management toward the non-restriction of the employees with any foundations during work, as each one was performing as may see fit and according to their discretion, which lead to a fluctuation of production, and such fluctuation might lead the management to lose their ability to predict, plan, and learn the size of the future production.

Therefore, there must be either an optimum specific method of work within some specific and uniform steps and foundations, or a method for each one, and thus no efficiency would be achieved and the expected production levels would fall short. The optimum method for work is the method that would take place through studying the work steps, determining and maintaining the necessary steps, and specifying the unnecessary steps for being eliminated, and there remains the best optimum method for performing any work.
