Scientific Management, originally developed by Frederick W. Taylor, focuses on enhancing worker efficiency through production methods. Today, this concept has evolved with technology, where companies like Amazon and UPS utilize advanced monitoring systems. A recent startup, Optifye, has gained attention for introducing AI performance monitoring in factories, exemplified by how it reduces workers to numbers for performance assessment. This contemporary adaptation brings ethical concerns regarding worker dignity and the human aspect of labor as businesses increasingly prioritize data-driven production efficiencies.
You're in the red... You haven't hit your hourly output even once and you had 11.4 percent efficiency. This is really bad.
This represents a shift in worker management, where employees are treated more like machines than individuals.
