Re: PDSA, Taylor, Shewhart and Deming

Actually, Taylor believed in "high wages and low prices" working to  
achieve this through optimization. His shoveling study is a clear  
example. He found that it was optimal for a shovel to be sized to  
hold 21 1/2 pounds of material. Fewer men were able to move more coal  
into the furnaces with greater ease in the steel mills this way. As  
far as his status as a scientist, it should e remembered that Taylor  
was an Engineer.
