F.W. Taylor.
(A) Functional Foremanship
(B) Kanban
(C) Method Study
(D) Motion Study
(E) Kaizen
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), and (C) only
• B. (A), (C), and (E) only
• C. (A), (D), and (E) only
• D. (A), (C), and (D) only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct answer includes techniques developed by F.W. Taylor as part of Scientific Management:

(A) Functional Foremanship: A method where the management role is divided into different functions, allowing for more specialized and efficient management of tasks.

(C) Method Study: A technique aimed at finding the best way of performing tasks to improve efficiency.

(D) Motion Study: This technique focuses on reducing unnecessary motions to improve efficiency, a key concept in improving productivity.

Both "Kanban" and "Kaizen" are modern techniques and are not part of Taylor’s Scientific Management, which focused on more rigid, structured methods for improving efficiency in the workplace.
