Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

F.W. Taylor is recognized as the progenitor of Scientific Management. His methodology comprises various techniques aimed at enhancing workplace productivity. From the provided options, Taylor's contributions include:

• Functional Foremanship (A): This involves distributing management responsibilities among several specialists, each with distinct expertise, to achieve superior oversight.
• Method Study (C): This process analyzes work procedures to pinpoint inefficiencies and opportunities for enhancement, thereby optimizing resource allocation and time management.
• Motion Study (D): This detailed examination seeks to eliminate superfluous movements during task execution, consequently conserving time and energy.

Techniques such as Kanban (B) and Kaizen (E) are associated with contemporary Japanese management practices and do not fall under Taylor's Scientific Management framework.

Therefore, the accurate selection is (A), (C), and (D) exclusively.
