HENRY LAURENCE GANTT (1861- 1919)
Most remembered for his Bar chart techniques
HENRY LAURENCE GANTT (1861- 1919)
Preoccupied with human aspect of management in his quest for economy in industrial activities “The control over labor given to management by the application of the system which I installed was so far- reaching as compared with other management controls that I refused to install it unless convinced that the management was such that no unfair advantage would be taken of the system to oppress labor.”

Frank was a brick layer, who as he
performed his job studied the motion
and method. He reduced brick laying
steps from 17 to 7 and increased the
average numbers of bricks laid from 125
to 350 by elimination of wasted motion
FRANK & LILLIAN GILBRETH

FRANK & LILLIAN GILBRETH
Created 18 “Therbligs” that describe
motions
FRANK & LILLIAN GILBRETH
Used time studies to measure and balance
aircraft assembly lines, controlled cycle times
WILLIAM E. BOEING

WILLIAM E. BOEING
Developed a production slide rule for
determining the most efficient combinations of speeds and feeds for cutting metals of various hardness, considering the depth of cut, size of
tool, and life of the tool. Investigated also the number of foot-pounds of work a worker could do in a day.
CARL G. BARTH
Developed a production slide rule
CARL G. BARTH
Applied scientific methods to work on the Santa Fe Railroad and wrote a book, ‘Twelve Principles of Efficiency,’ in which he made an effort to inform management of procedures for efficient operation
HARRINGTON EMERSON
Reorganized the company, integrated its shop procedures, installed standard costs and a bonus plan. His effort resulted in excess of $1.5 million. His effort was recognized as the term ‘Efficiency Engineering.’
