FREDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR

General Dates

• Taylor was an American mechanical engineer and economist American who sought to improve industrial efficiency.
• He is remembered as the father of scientific management and was one of the first management consultants.
• Taylor was born in 1856 to a wealthy Quaker family in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
• Taylor study for two years in France and Germany and traveled Europe for eighteen months.
• Upon graduation, Taylor was accepted at Harvard Law. However, due to rapidly deteriorating eyesight, Taylor had to consider a alternative career. Taylor took night study at Stevens Institute of Technology and 1883 obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• On October 19, 1906, Taylor received an honorary degree of Doctor of Science by the University of Pennsylvania and eventually became a professor at the manager business at Dartmouth Collage.
• Late winter of 1915 Taylor caught pneumonia and one day afterhis fifty ninth birthday, on March 21, he died.

Peculiar Dates: Childhood and adolescence of Taylor

Taylor since his adolescence began to lose the eyesight, his body was weak and could not participate in the games that others organized like the baseball and tennis.

In his paper of spectator, he dedicated his life to conceive how to improve the yield of the physical effort wasted by the players by means of a suitable design more of the instruments used by them.

This attide would mark of by life him, for him the most important was to measure the effort, the place and the moveents to obtain the greater possible efficiency in the sports as in the production.

Taylor Philosophy:

• Science - nonempirismo
• Harmony - nondiscord
• Cooperation - nonindividualism
• Maximum production - restricted nonproduction
• The development of each person until her greater effectiveness and prosperity.

Scientific management:

Taylor believed that the industrial management of his day was amateurish, that management could be formulated as an academic discipline, and that the best results would come from the partnership between a trained and qualified management and a cooperative and innovative workforce. Each side needed the other, and there was no need for trade unions.

Taylor's scientific management consisted of four principles:
1. Replace rule-of-thumb work methods with methods based on a scientific study of the tasks.
2. Scientifically select, train, and develop each employee rather than passively leaving them to train themselves.
3. Provide "Detailed instruction and supervision of each worker in the performance of that worker's discrete task".
4. Divide work nearly equally between managers and workers, so that the managers apply scientific management principles to planning the work and the workers actually perform the tasks.

He is most remembered for developing the time and motion study and the standardization of tools. To study with a chronometer the required time to make each movement and to select the fastest way to use each tool of work and to eliminate the slow and useless movements and to select fastest and better.

Michael Faraday

MICHAEL FARADAY

General dates

Michael Faraday was British, he was physicist and chemistry he did study the electromagnetism and electrochemistry, he was son of James Faraday, one of four children, her childhood was poor. When he 13 years old he began to work like helper to a local bookbinder and bookseller George Riebau, the next year he was ascended to apprentice of the job. During seven years that he was here, he did read scientific books and he did experiments about electricity obtaining a big interest for the science but he didn`t know mathematics and differential calculus but he did have a great ability to make graphics. He was a completely dedicated Christian.
Religious
He considered his religious like something more important that his scientific race.
He died 25th of august of 1867.

His studies
Michael Faraday, had only the most basic of school educations, when he worked like bookbinder began the true process of education of Michael Faraday who being a self-taught person, by its effort, he became to be most eminent of the experimenters of century XIX. He was the best example of complete independence between the creative genius and the knowledge conferred by the scholastic formation.
Fascinated by the content of some articles on electricity, it made a voltaic battery with which it developed diverse electrochemical experiments
In discord with their contemporaries, who contemplated the electricity like a fluid that moved between the elements, Faraday proposed imagine it like an interchange of energetic qualities. During his experiences destined to reinforce his idea he described the phenomenon of the decomposition of salts in his elementary components to the being crossed by electrical currents that he himself baptized like electrolysis.
He discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis.

How he did become in an important scientific?
After some years of work in the library, and for the opportunity that gave a client him, it could attend the lectures on chemistry subjects that Humphry Davy gave in Royal Institution. Faraday did send him all the notes that had taken throughout these sessions, accompanied by a use request. Satisfied with the material that Faraday had sent to him, Davy contracted it in 1812, like assistant.Its activity began realizing maintenance workings, to happen later to collaborate with the teacher in the preparation of the laboratory practices; this way, one became one more of his disciples.

Tips to be a good scientific

To be a good scientific Michael Faraday take 6 tips from a book that he did read when he was 14 years old, (The improvement of the mind of Isaac Watts), this tips are:
• Have always with you a small pad with the purpose of taking notes at any time.
• Maintain abundant correspondence.• Meet persons to interchange ideas.• Avoid the controversies.
• Verify everything that it is said to you.
• Not generalize, speak and write as precise as possible.
