Question

Can scientific management principles help you be more efficient? Choose a task that you do regularly (such as laundry, fixing dinner, grocery shopping, studying for exams, etc.). Analyze it by writing down the steps involved in completing that task. See if there are activities that could be combined or eliminated.

Answer 1

Scientific management principle is a set theory of management that analyzes and synthesizes the workflow. This principle was aimed at improving the economic sector, especially the production sector. However, the principle has been adopted in many sectors of the economy and many other spheres of life. For instance in the education sector, it has helped in preparation of grading merits for students.

The steps followed for the same is as follows:

1. listing students names on paper one after the other
2. recording students grade on the sheet of paper
3. summing up the grades
4. tallying from top to last

however, the principle has made it possible for the teacher to eliminate the process of listing the students manually thus all their names are easily transferable from the admission list digitally. The process of summing up the total as well as tallying has been combined. As you sum the totals, tallying is done automatically, made possible by Scientific management.
