Federic Taylor invented the different stages of labour. That meant that a worker did not need to be qualified to do a certain job. Taylorism 's main objective is to improve economic efficiency especially, labour productivity. The system divides production into uncomplicated repetitive steps there would be no need for skilled workers, men could learn to do any job quickly. This system attempts to make business decisions on the basis of data that is researched and tested quantitatively. It was advocated by Frederick Winslow Taylor. He considered it to be management’s duty to identify ways in which costs could be accounted for precisely, so that efficiency could be improved. He coined his approach ‘Scientific Management’. Besides, he had been trained as an engineer in a steel works.
Henry Ford, using Taylor's ideas invented "The Assembly Line". Fordism is the application of Henry Ford´s faith in mass production run by autocratic managemant. This implies high division of labour and little workplace democracy, but with the consolation of high wages. Henry Ford was highly influenced by the expert Frederick Taylor. He was the first to use scientific management techniques at his factory. In 1913 Ford introduced his most revolutionary change yet, His idea was, instead of workers moving around to assemble the product, to create the assembly line. Soon assembly lines were operational in Ford's factory.
