Question:

Through how many persons F.W. Taylor suggests functional foremanship?

Options:

5

6

7

8

Correct Answer:

8

Explanation:

Taylor concentrated on improving the performance of this role in the factory set-up. In fact, he identified a list of qualities of a good foreman/supervisor and found that no single person could fit them all. This prompted him to suggest functional foremanship through eight persons. Taylor advocated separation of planning and execution functions. This concept was extended to the lowest level of the shop floor. It was known as functional foremanship.
