As an example, Taylor found that instead of allowing workers to use their own shovels, as was the custom at the time, providing specially designed shovels increased productivity. He also believed that scientific methods could be used to increase productivity.
He saw the inefficiencies inherent in employees’ production methods and argued that a manager’s job was to carefully plan the work to be performed by employees. He saw work being done haphazardly, with only workers in charge. Taylor was a mechanical engineer in the manufacturing industry.

Scientific management is a philosophy based on the ideas of Frederick Taylor as presented in his 1911 book, Principles of Scientific Management. Perhaps the earliest attempt to design jobs came during the era of scientific management.
