3 Fayol s 14 Points Fayol s general principles of management are as follows: 1. Division of work: Work specialization can result in efficiencies and is applicable to both managerial and technical functions. Yet there are limitations to how much that work should be divided. 2. Authority: Authority is the right to give orders and the power to exact obedience. It derives from the formal authority of the office and from the personal authority based on factors like intelligence and experience. With authority comes responsibility. 3. Discipline: Discipline is absolutely necessary for the smooth running of an organization, but the state of discipline depends essentially on the worthiness of its leaders. 4. Unity of command: An employee should receive orders from one superior only. 5. Unity of direction: Activities aimed at the same objective should be organized so that there is one plan and one person in charge. 6. Subordination of individual interest to general interest: The interests of one employee or group should not prevail over the interests and goals of the organization. 7. Remuneration: Compensation should be fair to both the employee and the employer. 8. Centralization: The proper amount of centralization or decentralization depends on the situation. The objective is the optimum use of the capabilities of personnel. 9. Scalar chain: A scalar [hierarchical] chain of authority extends from the top to the bottom of an organization and defines the communication path. However, horizontal communication is also encouraged as long as the managers in the chain are kept informed. 10. Order: Materials should be kept in well-chosen places that facilitate activities. Similarly, due to good organization and selection, the right person should be in the right place. 11. Equity: Employees should be treated with kindness and justice. 12. Stability of personnel tenure: Because time is required to become effective in new jobs, high turnover should be prevented. 13. Initiative: Managers should encourage and develop subordinate initiative to the fullest. 14. Esprit de corps. Since union is strength, harmony and teamwork are essential. Assignment: Compare and contrast Fayol s management principles with Weber s management principles. Your answer should be approximately 2-4 paragraphs in length. 3
4 The human relations movement came to be considered too simplistic for practical use. However, some companies are able to come up with creative ways to keep employees satisfied. Each year the Great Place to Work Institute ranks America s top employers in the annual Best Companies To Work For. Go to the institute s web site ( and find their list of best Fortune 500 companies. Please type your responses to the following questions. Be sure to put your name on the top of the paper. 1. List the top five companies. Best Companies to Work For 2. Choose one company from the list and use an Internet search engine to research the company. Summarize the company s background and mission. 3. Follow the links to the Institute s listing for the previous year. Where did the top five companies you listed in question 1 rank during the previous year? If the rankings were different, what do you think caused the company s rank to change? 4. List ten examples of practical applications of the behaviorist theories at work in these companies. In other words, what specifically do these companies do to try to motivate their employees by understanding human behavior? 4
5 Too Much of a Good Thing? Highly productive workers are keeping manufacturing jobs in tiny Pella, Iowa. But they're also foiling economic growth. Matthew Swibel IN ANOTHER LIFE Mark Zylstra might have been a Swiss watchmaker. For now the 31-year-old plant manager is content to lord over a factory floor of Vermeer Manufacturing Co. in Pella, Iowa, pointing to a directional drill assembly line that used to be cluttered with 20 days' worth of parts inventory. Zylstra and a group of seven studied the problem, then resolved to stack those parts 50 feet away in the machine shop area. Seems trivial, but the move allowed the plant to cut 10 days' worth of inventory--zylstra is now trying to halve that number and free up $600,000 a year--and also helped make room for eight new assemblyline workers (who spend less time looking for scattered parts). "We do this stuff for survival," says Mary Andringa, Vermeer's co-chief executive and the founder's daughter. Factory owners have been doing such things for survival ever since Frederick W. Taylor invented timeand-motion studies more than a century ago. Productivity at Vermeer, a $500 million (sales) manufacturer of industrial and farm machinery, has risen an average 4% in each of the last seven years, the result of thousands of changes to production methods. Among them: suggesting how many blueprints an engineer should have on his desk, deciding how far to travel to perform an assembly-line task and reducing the time it takes to hire and orient a new employee from 23 to 7 days. "If you're not doing lean manufacturing," says Zylstra, "someone's gonna put you out of business." He picked up that line working down the road at Pella Corp., the $1 billion (sales) company where over eight years he saw window units roll off the line every 108 seconds; productivity has gained an estimated 2% each year. Such continual, incremental improvements have helped the two largest private employers in Pella keep manufacturing jobs from being exported abroad. Across Iowa 17 factories shuttered last year, according to Plant Closing News; the state has 28,000 fewer manufacturing positions since Vermeer and Pella between them offer a combined 5,500 nonunion jobs in a town where 7,500 working-age adults live. Within the last 12 months the two companies have brought 650 new manufacturing jobs to their home base. Unemployment in the Pella area stands at 4.2%, a full point below the national average. Workers in Iowa's manufacturing and mining sectors-- the two areas most influenced by Pella residents' output--earn an average $758 a week, the highest wages of any nonfarming industry in the state. Not exactly a millionaire's refuge, but in how many other rural spots can you play the quintessential capitalist sport, golf, as you can at Pella's own Bos Landen Golf Resort? "I do realize I don't live in the real world sometimes," allows David Vollmar, executive director of the Pella Area Chamber of Commerce. A little too perfect, perhaps. While driving up their efficiency, Pella Corp. and Vermeer have effectively slammed the door on other sizable businesses that have tried to plant a foot. "We've created two great manufacturing companies," says Vollmar. "But I can't find anyone else to come here because they're worried about the tightness of the labor market." It makes for timidity at home: Pella doesn't have many entrepreneurial spinoffs from its two largest employers. The city's job growth over the last five years? Nil. Blame the chilling effect for the painstaking seven years it took Vollmar to convince Brown's Shoes to open a store in Pella. Given the three-shift schedules at Pella Corp. and Vermeer, would employees have enough time to shop? Recent town hearings on property rezoning for a Wal-Mart expansion drew fierce debate. "If my son doesn't want to work in a plant, there's nothing else for him to do. At least Wal-Mart will mean more jobs." So argued a woman resident and Wal-Mart employee in favor of the expansion. (The rezoning measure passed.) She got it right. As a two-company town, Pella can't inoculate itself against a downturn. It lost 1,000 or so manufacturing jobs between 2001 and 2002, causing the decline of approximately $58 million in earned income. Founded in 1847 by Dutch immigrants, Pella provided rich soil for grain and corn. A childhood home of Wyatt Earp, the city was a forgettable Chicago-Rock Island- Pacific rail depot, 45 miles southwest of Des Moines. In 1925 lumber entrepreneur Peter Kuyper made an initial $5,000 down payment to buy Rolscreen Co., maker of an early insect screen for windows that rolled out of sight. What eventually became Pella Corp. sells mostly residential windows and doors in North America, Japan and China. Pella had an army of window plant workers after World War II, when farmer Gary Vermeer turned a modest invention--a modified farm wagon with a mechanical hoist--into a company in Armed with only a high-school diploma, Vermeer introduced the world's first large, round haybaler in Like Case and Deere before it, Vermeer branched off from farm machines into 5
6 construction machines. It does a thriving business in directionaldrilling equipment used, among other things, to lay fiberoptic cable. Most of the city's dozen or so factory ventilation stacks belong to either Pella Corp. or Vermeer. So, in effect, do a few ecclesiastical spires: Each firm's charitable programs benefit churches (the town's church-to-bar ratio is 29:2). There are a restored opera house, an indoor community swimming pool and a $2.5 million Dutch-built working windmill--all paid for mostly by the charitable foundations of Pella Corp. and Vermeer or members of these firms' founding families. Sloping gambrel rooflines fill the downtown Pella streetscape, where stores still stock Dutch-spiced beef, Dutch lace and Dutch pastries. What you won't find in Pella is a union rep, despite some earnest rounds of knocking on doors by union organizers. The average annual wage growth in Pella puts it 426 out of 573 small towns measured by the Policom Corp., an economic development firm. Vermeer offers free doctor and nurse visits to workers and their families. Both companies foot the tuition bill for its employees to get college and postgraduate degrees. "Unions will tell you they can offer you better pay and benefits," says Bruce Severson, production area manager at Vermeer. "But I'm not convinced." Strict union job classifications stifle innovation, says William Schwartz, a business consultant who has run workshops at Pella Corp. on kaizen, the Japanese art of continual improvement. Indeed, some of the best ideas have emerged from weeklong brainstorming events involving ten or so workers from different job categories. Unfettered by job assignments, participants can set an objective--say, to reduce production errors or streamline order entry--or come up with novel product ideas. One such session gave rise to a Pella innovation this year: betweenthe-glass cordless blinds and shades (window and patio-door treatments tucked between panes of glass and away from dust and yanks from kids). Efficiency can carry you only so far. In another company town 30 miles to the north a more famous manufacturer put itself through similar cycles of self-improvement. The results at Maytag-300 layoffs in the past 18 months and warnings last month that the flagship laundry machine factory is in deep trouble-- have sent town leaders on a desperate scramble to secure a new economic lifeline. Their answer: a $76 million Nascar racetrack that will be partly subsidized by the state. Iowa legislators are also putting up $100 million in order to attract 300 companies and bring 15,000 jobs to the state. What worries Vollmar in Pella is that he's not high on their list. "I've struggled for 12 years to find the next Pella Corp. or Vermeer," he says. "And I haven't had anyone close to discussion." Forbes; 5/23/2005, Vol. 175 Issue 11, p Questions for Review 1. Briefly state the main idea of this article? List three important facts that the author uses to support the main idea. 2. What is kaizen? 3. What are the benefits and drawbacks to unions? 4. Why is the town trying to attract new businesses? 5. What examples of management theories in action did you find in the article? 6
7 Deming s Recommendations for Management In his book Out of the Crisis, Dr. W. Edwards Deming presented 14 steps toward an improved management. 1. Create constancy of purpose for improvement of product and service with the aim to become competitive and to stay in business, and to keep providing jobs. 2. Adopt the new philosophy. Western management must awaken to the challenge, must learn their responsibilities, and take on leadership for change. 3. Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis by building quality into the product in the first place. 4. End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag. Instead, minimize total cost. Move toward a single supplier for any one item, on a long-term relationship of loyalty and trust. 5. Improve constantly and forever every process for planning, production and service. Improve quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease costs. 6. Institute training on the job. This should be a part of everybody s everyday activities. 7. Adopt and institute leadership. The aim of supervision should be to help people and machines and gadgets to do a better job. Supervision of management is in need of overhaul as well as supervision of production workers. 8. Drive out fear so that everyone may work effectively for the company because they want it to succeed. 9. Break down barriers between staff areas or departments. People in research, design, sales, and production must work as a team, to foresee problems of production and in use that may be encountered with the product or service. 10. Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the workforce asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the work force. 11. Eliminate numerical quotas for the workforce and numerical goals for management. a. Eliminate work standards (quotas) on the factory floor. Substitute leadership. b. Eliminate the obsolete concept of management by objective. Eliminate management by numbers, numerical goals. Substitute leadership. 12. Remove barriers that rob people of pride of workmanship eliminate the annual rating or merit system. a. Remove barriers that rob the hourly worker of his right to pride of workmanship. The responsibility of supervisors must be changed from sheer numbers to quality. b. Remove barriers that rob people in management and in engineering of their right to pride of workmanship. 13. Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement for everyone. Let them participate to choose the areas of development. 14. Put everybody in the company to work to accomplish the transformation. The transformation is everybody s job. (Source: Enrique Mora, W. Edwards Deming, His 14 Recommendations Changed the History of Japan and the World, September 8, 2004, Total Productive Maintenance Online.)
