Developing and Employing First Class People in an Organization - F.W. Taylor

The aim in each establishment should be:

(a) That each workman should be given as far as possible the highest grade of work for which his ability and physique fit him.

(b) That each workman should be called upon to turn out the maximum amount of work which a first-rate man of his class can do and thrive.

(c) That each workman, when he works at the best pace of a first-class man, should be paid from 30 per cent to 100 per cent according to the nature of the work which he does, beyond the average of his class.

And this means high wages and a low labor cost. 

These conditions not only serve the best interests of the employer, but they tend to raise each workman to the highest level which he is fitted to attain by making him use his best faculties, forcing him to become and remain ambitious and energetic, and giving him sufficient pay to live better than in the past.

Under these conditions the writer has seen many first-class men developed who otherwise would have remained second or third class all of their lives.

Is not the presence or absence of these conditions the best indication that any system of management is either well or badly applied? And in considering the relative merits of different types of management, is not that system the best which will establish these conditions with the greatest certainty, precision, and speed?

In comparing the management of manufacturing and engineering companies by this standard, it is surprising to see how far they fall short. Few of those which are best organized have attained even approximately the maximum output of first-class men.

Industrial Engineers and the Make in India Initiative in India

There is an article "Industrial Engineers and the Manufacturing Renaissance" in Industry Week.
http://www.industryweek.com/education-training/industrial-engineers-and-manufacturing-renaissance?page=1

NC State University's Industrial Engineering Profesor Paul Cohen made some interesting points that are relevant to Industrial Engineering Education in India.

We have entered the era of Manufacturing 2.0, where both shop floor employees and engineers will need new skills for more advanced manufacturing.

One of the primary skills is the ability to use information technology to connect all the pieces of a more complex, interdependent manufacturing environment. Additive manufacturing will contribute to a very distributed supply chain and it is to be in a network as designs can be sent over the network to 3D printing firms.

There is also a major challenge in teaching engineers how to design products to take advantage of 3D printing.  Certain geometries that can’t be produced with other processes can be produced using  3D printing processes.

Industrial engineers can identify cost reduction opportunties in producing components using 3D printing processes.

Industrial engineers in particular deal with people from the shop floor to the boardroom. So they should be able to communicate with everybody. So education in communication skills is essential for IEs.

The U.S. does not have enough industrial engineers moving through the educational pipeline. Cohen cites a 2012 article in The New York Times that examined the production ramp-up for Apple’s iPhone. The article noted that 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee the 200,000 employees of Foxconn who would manufacture the phones. Apple estimated that it would take nine months to find that number of engineers in the U.S. But in China, it took only 15 days. That shows China is developing more IEs

According to Cohen, U.S., produces 3,300 industrial engineers a year.

How many IEs are produced in India through universities.  In India, we need to recognize the importance of IE stream and take steps to strengthen the stream.

Contribution of Taylor to Industrial Engineering

Shop Management

Scientific Management

In the marketing management articles you will come across marketing productivity discussion. Industrial engineers are concerned with marketing productivity and they improve marketing processes to improve their productivity. The various activities in marketing are studied by IEs to understand the processes and activities to redesign them improving their efficiency. Second, marketing is related to exchange of ideas. Industrial engineers come up with many ideas of process improvement, and they have to know the marketing steps to market and sell their ideas.

Operations Management Area - Main focus area for IEs for Improvement

IEs have to improve both technical and management processes

Operations management in engineering organizations is the main area for industrial engineering activity. In operations management activity, there are many areas where engineering is the primary knowledge discipline and IEs are the people to improve these areas for productivity improvement, cost reduction and waste elimination. Hence IEs have to study operations management in detail as they will be involved improving technical processes as well as managerial processes in operations managment area.
