What is the focus of "Functional Foremanship"?

Specialization in supervising functions

The correct answer is Option (2) → Specialization in supervising functions

Functional Foremanship was introduced by F.W. Taylor as part of his principles of Scientific Management. Its focus is on dividing the supervisory role into specialized functions rather than one single foreman controlling everything.

• Taylor suggested eight functional foremen, each expert in their area (like speed boss, repair boss, inspector, disciplinarian, etc.).

• This system allowed workers to receive guidance from specialists in different aspects of work, increasing efficiency and expertise.

So, the focus of Functional Foremanship is specialization in supervising functions.
