The Scientific Organization of Work is a book published in 1911 by Frederick Winslow Taylor. Through the study of work and collaboration between trained management and skilled employees, Taylor felt it was feasible to organize a beneficial relationship from which both sides would benefit in order to overcome what he felt was the imprecise amateurism of the managers of the day. In essence, Taylor's argument was based on the idea that there is only one optimal approach (“one best way”) to do any given work. His theory initially focused mostly on the manufacturing sector, and his approach entailed a comprehensive examination of each worker's motions in order to maximize working time in accordance with the following key phases: The Scientific Organization of Work is a book published in 1911 by Frederick Winslow Taylor.

The word "Taylorism" refers to Taylor's approach to managing industrial plants and it also has a pejorative meaning given that this method appropriates workers' knowledge and skills in order to use these against them.

## The Gilbreths: productivity in the household ## The Gilbreths: productivity in the household
Amongst the new breed of "scientific managers" were a couple of American engineers, Frank Bunker Gilbreth and Lillian Moller Gilbreth, who became influential efficiency experts by pioneering the Motion Study method. The Gilbreths created a research methodology based on the examination of "work movements," which included filming a worker's actions and body position while keeping track of the time. They called the units of work they measured the therbligs (an anagram of their last name), each one a mere one-thousandth of a second.
