Description

Lean Management is as revolutionary today as was Scientific Management at the turn of the 19th century. In this paper we compare Lean Management and Scientific Management concepts of waste and its root causes to determine if Lean Management evolved from Scientific Management or is significantly different. Each waste is examined and the Scientific Management view is examined through the writings of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. A brief history of Scientific Management and Japanese management is also presented, noting the Gilbreths’ influence on early Japanese management practices. We found that Lean Management is significantly philosophically different from Scientific Management.
