Right from procurement of raw materials till the final product is delivered to the customer every activity is part of it.

Even now auto companies are using it.
Taylor also demonstrated that productivity increased to about four times by following his another technique.

Through this technique, Taylor was able to design suitable equipment and tools to educate workers on their use.
Identify and explain the two techniques of scientific management highlighted above.
