TAYLORISMO (Teoria da Administração Científica de Taylor) - Resumo Prático

Taylorism. This was a production process model based on scientific management. And its main objectives were to maximize and optimize productivity and be very efficient.

Precisely for this reason, many companies use references from Taylorism to this day. So, understand now what Taylorism is, its main principles and also some criticisms it receives. All in a very practical and summarized way!

You want to receive tips and information to set up your own business. So subscribe to this channel and stay on top of everything you need to know to open your own company. To try to make this subject very clear, let's explain the following points: 1.

WHAT IS TAYLORISM 2. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS AND PRINCIPLES 3. CRITICISM IT RECEIVES So, let's go!

1. WHAT IS TAYLORISM Basically, it is a production method created by the American theoretician Frederick Taylor. This method was characterized by the rationalization of work.

That is, the specialization of collaborators was seen as the high point of Taylorism. Standardizing and automating production as much as possible. In this way, each employee was trained and qualified to perform only a few specific tasks, instead of performing several tasks.

All this with the aim of maximizing the productivity of each professional. And, consequently, the overall production of the company as well. In other words, every aspect of the job was scientifically planned to optimize production.

In scientific terms indeed. In addition, Taylorism advocated that it was the responsibility of the company's managers or managers to develop adequate production systems to achieve economic efficiency. Precisely for all these reasons, this method can be called scientific management.

2. MAIN FEATURES AND PRINCIPLES SCIENCE-BASED PRODUCTION Taylorism embraced scientific methods rather than rules of thumb. That is, instead of doing things a certain way without having a great reason behind it, managers should use the scientific method to determine the best way to perform tasks.

All based on data and studies. TASKS ACCORDING TO SKILLS Another point is the separation of tasks according to the skills of the employees. Instead of randomly delegating activities, managers should analyze each employee's skills and train them to reach their maximum efficiency in a specific task.

MONITORING Another pillar is the monitoring of work performance. In this way, managers must evaluate the efficiency of employees and guide them whenever necessary to ensure their productivity. And achieve the goals and objectives.

SEPARATION OF FUNCTIONS This separation refers to functions between managers and employees. Thus, managers should be responsible for planning and training. While employees implement what they were trained and delegated to perform.

OPTIMIZATION OF PROCESSES AND EXPENSES And all this was done to reduce process time , which was the main focus of Taylor's research and ideas. In this way, Taylorism aimed to reduce the process time to complete a task to improve efficiency and increase productivity. At the same time, reduce all possible expenses to maximize profits.

So his experiments consisted of breaking work down into specific tasks, using a stopwatch to measure the time spent on each one, and rearranging them to create an optimized sequence. Soon, many of his experiments consisted of dividing the work into more specific tasks, timing the time spent on each one to better understand how the current process is going. And then rearranging them to create a well-optimized and organized sequence.

BUT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TAYLORISM, TOYOTISM AND FORDISM? Fordism and Toyotism are other types of production models. FORDISM: Developed by Henry Ford, Fordism used assembly line technology.

This method was widely used by car assemblers, in which parts were moved on a conveyor belt. While each employee performs specific tasks in a fixed place on this assembly line. Thus, this system did not require much qualification from workers.

TOYOTISM: Toyotism, incorporated by Toyota in the past, is a system that incorporates management practices, giving rise to Lean Manufacturing (which is Lean Manufacturing in Portuguese). Therefore, it focuses on reducing waste and increasing efficiency. So, if you want to understand more about these models, we have a video for each of them that explains it in a practical and summarized way.

If you want to watch them, let's leave the links here in the description, agreed? 3. CRITICISM RECEIVED One of the main criticisms of Taylorism is that it transforms workers into mere production machines.

What is known as "workers' automatism". This means that, when assigned to a single role, employees do not stimulate their creativity and do not have opportunities for growth within the company. Furthermore, Taylorism causes workers to specialize in only one function.

This ends up preventing them from understanding how the production process works as a whole. In this way, criticism hits the point that employees end up becoming alienated and even dehumanized. Literally turning them into machines in a productive process in companies.

However, it is also worth mentioning that Taylorism greatly influenced the industry and business as a whole. And it is still widely studied and even serves as a reference for many companies today. Especially because scientific management influenced both management and economics, becoming fundamental for understanding organizational dynamics and industrial processes.

Even if you want to understand more about administration, we highly recommend understanding the Classical Theory of Administration. Which is one of the pillars to be able to administer or manage all types of business. In all areas or departments of your company.

And, if you want, we have a video that explains this subject in a very summarized way. If you want to watch it, just click this button above or the link we left in the description. Did you see how Taylorism is a production model and still serves as a reference for many companies today?

Mainly because many successful professionals and managers rely on data and scientific methods to make decisions. And this is very important in our professional and even personal life as well. Can believe!
