The one best way. Frederick Winslow Taylor and the Enigma of Efficiency
- Enter ‘Henry Knoll’ into Taylor’s life. Taylor uses Knoll to prove how much pig iron can humanly be shovelled in one day.
- Knoll is a large framed and strong man who wished to work hard and afford to build his own house.
- Other workers cannot match the speed of Knoll. Yet Taylor insists that Knoll’s workrate should be the standard.
