Shop Management is a classic book written by Frederick Winslow Taylor that provides a comprehensive guide on how to manage a shop effectively. The book is based on Taylor's experience as a mechanical engineer and his observations of the manufacturing industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book covers a range of topics related to shop management, including the principles of scientific management, the importance of standardization, the role of workers in the production process, and the use of time and motion studies to improve efficiency. It also provides practical advice on how to organize a shop, how to train workers, how to set up a system of incentives, and how to measure and improve productivity. The book is written in a clear and concise style and is intended for anyone involved in the management of a manufacturing or industrial facility. It is considered a classic in the field of industrial engineering and has been widely read and studied by managers and scholars alike.It is, however, under piece work that the art of systematic soldiering is thoroughly developed. After a workman has had the price per piece of the work he is doing lowered two or three times as a result of his having worked harder and increased his output, he is likely to entirely lose sight of his employer's side of the case and to become imbued with a grim determination to have no more cuts if soldiering can prevent it. Unfortunately for the character of the workman, soldiering involves a deliberate attempt to mislead and deceive his employer, and thus upright and straight-forward workmen are compelled to become more or less hypocritical.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
