This book delves into the principles and applications of a revolutionary approach to management, aiming to eliminate waste and maximize efficiency in human labor. Through meticulous analysis and observation, the author establishes a framework for optimizing workflows, setting achievable tasks, and fostering collaboration between workers and managers. This groundbreaking system, developed in the early 20th century, challenged traditional management practices by emphasizing scientific investigation and data-driven decision-making. The author advocates for standardized tools and methods, detailed instruction cards, and a fair system of compensation that rewards productivity and encourages continuous improvement. By addressing concerns about worker fatigue, fair treatment, and the role of unions, this book presents a compelling vision of a more harmonious and productive workplace. It argues that the interests of employers and employees are ultimately aligned, and that increased efficiency can lead to both higher wages and lower production costs. This book's insights into human behavior, work processes, and organizational design remain relevant to this day, offering valuable lessons for managers, workers, and anyone seeking to understand the principles of effective management.

FOREWORD In preparing this Primer of Scientific Management Mr. Gilbreth has performed a public Service. His clear and simple instruction in the rudiments of the science will aid managers, superintendents, and foremen in their efforts to introduce it into their business. But the Primer will prove of greatest value in helping to remove from the minds of workingmen misapprehensions which have led some well-meaning labor leaders to oppose a movement from which labor has most to gain. That these labor leaders should, at the outset, have viewed the new man-agement with suspicion was natural and proper. The "Beginning of Wisdom is Fear." But the second step in the path of wisdom is understanding; and courage should not lag far behind. Scientific Management undertakes to secure greater production for the same or less effort. It secures to the workingman that development and rise in self-respect, that satisfaction with his work which in other lines of human activity accompanies achievement.
