In Taylor's view, the task of factory management was to determine the best way for the worker to do the job, to provide the proper tools and training, and to provide incentives for good performance.

With unnecessary motion eliminated, the worker, following a machinelike routine, became far more productive. See also {{link=production management">production management , time-and-motion study .
