The principle of taylor's method is to divide the work into several tasks:

We observe the actions achieved by the workers.

We divide them into several gestures short and easy to learn in the purpose that this gesture is repetitive, the worker does not have to think any more. However he becomes little qualified and salaries are very low.

The cadence is fast, the purpose is to eliminate timeouts. Only persons who have to think are the engineers to find always more solutions for a faster production.

Henry ford is one of the first ones to set up the assembly-line work. The principle of the assembly-line work is that the worker moves no more but that the object which he has to work comes to him with a conveyor. With this system Ford produced many Ford T, which is often considered as being the first accessible car to all.
