Question
The students of Class XII of 'NK Senior Secondary School' visited the factory of 'Jaipur Exports Private Limited’, a company manufacturing readymade garments. They observed that different workers were allocated different tasks like cutting the fabric as per specification, stitching dresses, putting buttons, ironing the finished dresses, packing them and putting labels. The Chief Executive Officer told the students that this results in efficient and effective output. They also observed orderliness in the factory as there was a fixed place for everything and it was present there. The students later discussed with their Business Studies teacher and understood that principles of management given by Fayol were being followed in the factory.
Identify and explain the two principles of management that have been discussed in the above case.
Solution
Two principles that have been followed here are:
- Division of Work: Work is divided into discrete tasks/jobs, and each task is completed by a qualified specialist, resulting in improved efficiency, specialisation, enhanced production, and reduce unnecessary waste and motions.
- Order: There should be a place for everything, and everyone should be positioned appropriately. People and materials must be in the right places at the right time for maximum efficiency.
