A theory of management which analyses work processes and suggests adaptations to the workflow to improve productivity. Work is broken down into component parts and timings established for these; a detailed analysis can then take place to determine the most efficient method of production. A leading advocate of this approach was Frederick Taylor (d. 1915).
