Frederick Winslow Taylor
Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) was an American mechanical engineer and management consultant known as the father of scientific management. His pioneering work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries focused on optimizing work processes and improving productivity through time and motion studies. Taylor's methods aimed to increase efficiency by analyzing workflows and reducing waste. Despite these advancements, his approach faced criticism for its impact on workers, who often felt dehumanized and overworked under his system.
