Techniques of scientific management

Q: If per unit time was fixed without choosing the best work method and later unnecessary process steps were found what is the most scientific correction?

First do method study and repeat time study Time standard may be weak without the best method. Exam tip: remember method study before time study.

Q: In a factory the route sheet is new but the instruction card is based on the old layout. What lack of coordination does this show?

Route clerk and instruction card clerk Route and written instruction are both linked with the planning side. Exam tip: identify coordination among planning specialists.

Q: If the route is correct but fixtures and material are not available before work starts the delay is most linked to which role?

Gang boss Arranging resources before work starts is the work of gang boss. Exam tip: separate route and setup.

Q: If finished goods are defective due to wrong machine calibration who will correct it after the inspector detects it?

Repair boss Inspector detects defects but correcting machine condition is linked with repair boss. Exam tip: separate detection and correction.

Q: Standard is 135 units. A worker produces 138 units and high rate is ₹11. What will be the wage on gross output?

₹1518 Output above standard gets high rate on full gross output. Exam tip: calculate (138 \times 11 = 1518).

Q: If the method and tools are uniform but suppliers give different grades of material why will performance comparison be weak?

Because input conditions are not equal Input quality should also be standard for fair comparison. Exam tip: connect material standard with fairness.

Q: A company reduced variants from 30 to 6 but removed the highest demand variant. What was the main weakness in simplification?

Demand based selection was not done Simplification reduces unnecessary variety not essential demand. Exam tip: connect demand analysis with simplification.

Q: If product quality is uniform but weight differs in every batch which aspect is incomplete?

Standardisation Uniformity of weight and measurement is linked with standardisation. Exam tip: connect measurement variation with standardisation.

Q: If workers’ hand motions have reduced but material still follows a long route which study is still needed?

Method study Hand motion is motion study but material route is a process issue. Exam tip: separate body motion and material flow.

Q: If a layout change reduces walking but workers have to bend more which combined analysis is needed?

Motion study and fatigue study Less walking is motion improvement but bending can increase fatigue. Exam tip: check efficiency and fatigue balance.

In Class 12 Business Studies, this topic explains how Frederick Winslow Taylor applied scientific methods to improve efficiency and productivity in the workplace. Students learn about functional foremanship, standardisation and simplification of work, method study, motion study, time study, fatigue study, and the differential piece wage system. The chapter connects these techniques with work planning, employee performance, time management, cost control, and the systematic application of management principles.
