Interface

with Peter Drucker

Frederick Winslow Taylor’s principles sound deceptively simple. The first step in making the worker productive is to look at the task (task decomposition) and to analyze its constituent motions. The next step is to record each motion, the efforts it takes and the time it takes. Then unneeded motion gets eliminated.

Then each of the motions that remain as essential to obtaining results is set up so as to be done them simplest way (automation?), the easiest way (knowledge acquisition), the way that puts the least physical and mental strain on the employee, the way that requires the least time. Put these together into a “job” that is in logical sequence. Redesign the tools needed to do the job.
