A FURTHER ANALYSIS
OF TAYLOR SYSTEM

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
notice in the columns Of The Sunday
Times a letter purporting to bring to
light the illogical point of the Taylor
system," which stI esses the point that
under this system" the rate Of COM
pensation Is based on the alantity-nct
quality-of work turned out by the fast
est workman in an establishment. Such
statement seems &c infer that the ap-
pllcation Of the principles Of scientific
management put premium upon an
output of faulty work.
As 4 student of business organization
the writer has not grasped the funda-
tenn" The method of compensation as
set forth by Mr.. TayioS in numerous
magazine articles and his work on
scientific management, provide for two
rates, low wage and a high wage, the
former to be received by those men who
exceed the standard output and the lat
ter wage by those who just come up to
this mark. Now, II the rate of ,conpen-
sation is based on the quantity OF work
turned out by the fastest man what
need is there for a high rate? Again,
Is the Taylor system" actually based
on quantity with no respect whatever
for quality? II We are to give credence
to the authors own statement such a
question must certainly receive a mega
tive reply, for Mr.. Taylor explains most
definitely that the work turned out must
be without defects, or the workman's s
rate of efficiency will be lowered.
