Taylors main purpose was to increase productivity of the human work with a
scientific approach. "Prerequisites for that are the separation of head and handwork,
expropriation and systematic collection of the dexterities and the knowledge of the

achievement of the worker should be optimized by the systematic inspection of each

his opinion. After his direction, management received analysis and planning of the
work process in order to develop the best way of mastering the work. Thus, the
workers had no intellectual work to settle and were eventually only the exporting
