The Scientific method can also by applied to the workplace when finding better and more efficient ideas to improve proftis. By analysing the work done by workers who moved 1/2 a ton of pig iron, 12 times a day, I was able to increase their productivity to 47 pieces of 1/2 ton a day.

That’s how it should be. Each person taking care of that part of production they where trained to do. It works a well as a Swiss clock. For example, in many fancy restaurants, there are two chefs: One responsible for the hot plates, and one charged of deserts. That happens because each one trained to focus in the area he is better at. The restaurant can them provide the client with an excellent meal, both at the main dishes and dessert.

Just the best suited for a job should do it. The fellows above may not be exceptional humans beings, but when it comes to their area of work, they are the best fit. The strong ones must do heavy work, dexterous can do fragile work, smart ones can deal with writing and numbers.

Its important to know when to give the workers a break. If they just work, trey get tired and produce less. Back to the example of the Pig Iron, while the workers may be able to move the 47 pieces of pig iron, they cannot do it at once. A interval between each set of moves is necessary, or they will get tired fast.

While my studies may appear old, they can still be used while managing large companies that require several professional specialized in certain areas. In a company, its common to find people specialized for human resources, accounting, finances, production, marketing and etc.
