Synopsis

Excerpt from Applied Methods of Scientific Management

The author believes in adapting all details to meet each existing condition as found. He believes in devel oping existing plant to its highest possible efficiency before making large outlays for extensive alterations or additions. This same principle he applies to the placing, development and advancement of each individual member in the works organization. The obligations of the employer and employee to each other are not overlooked. Their interests are mutual and the principles involved tend toward the promotion of their combined progress and prosperity.

The mechanical issue of each problem can be fully recorded; but the psychological side of the subject cannot be predetermined nor authentically inscribed. The human element is at once the most important factor, and the greatest variable in the problem which the organizer has to solve, and his success depends largely upon his ability to recognize and handle this phase of the proposition.
