5.- Explain the principles of Frederick W. Taylor's scientific management.
Principle of planning: replace in the work the individual criterion of the worker,
improvisation and empirical-practical acting through procedure-based methods
Scientists. Replace improvisation with science, through the planning of the method.
Principle of preparation/planning: scientifically selecting workers
accordingly with their skills and prepare them, train them to produce more and better, accordingly
with the planned method.

Control principle: to control the work to certify that it is being executed.
according to the established norms according to y the planned schedule.
Principle of execution: distinctly distribute the attributions and responsibilities,

6.- What is understood by the study of movements and who are the founders of the
movement study technique?
It is defined as the study of the movements of the human body when performing an operation,
to improve it by eliminating unnecessary movements and establishing
from the sequence of movements most favorable for maximum efficiency.
There are several principles of movement economy, these were addressed
mainly by Frank Bunker Gilbreth and Lillian Moller Gilbreth, and have been
subsequently expanded by personalities such as Professor Ralph Barnes.

7.- Was the skepticism of the administration and staff understandable regarding
the results established by the 'efficiency experts'? Explain your answer.
It was understandable since in order to obtain higher rates with the increase of the industry.
they did not worry about analyzing human relations with their workers, so
They proposed unachievable goals without scientific planning like that of Taylor.
