Executive SummaryThe topic on Taylorism highlights the work model that is based on the particular applicationof the scientific management model that helps in the breaking down of specific tasks andactions into multiple sub-tasks in order to increase the overall production output. It was avery effective working design that was beneficial in the olden time when the ultimateobjective was to enhance the output level. But in current organizational set-up, this model isnot applicable in different organizations since the workers are not happy to welcome it sinceit restricts their ability to learn and develop skill-set. The assignment also deals with thesignificance and application of linear programming in various business industries.E-learning ActivitiesActivity 1– Ford and TaylorismThe Taylorism model basically emphasizes on increasing the production efficiency of anorganization by declining the application of work skills. In the prevailing competitiveenvironment, the workers in various parts of the globe including Australia, America andEurope would not be willing to accept this scientific model since it has limited contributiontowards adding value for them. It does not provide the scope to improve the operational skill level and at the same time thereis no gain in the process wisdom (Attfield, 2015). But it can be stated that this work model isuseful for specific organizations where the work is repetitive in nature. The most aptTaylorism example is the call centres. In call centres the agents have to deal with the clientsand solve their issues over telephone. This activity is monotonous in nature since they have tofollow a strict telemarketing script, so the Taylorism model can be used as an effective tool todesign their scripts while dealing with customers (Axelrod & VanDeveer, 2014).Even though this scientific process is historic but there are a few industries and businessprocesses around the globe that can use it to perform their operations in an effective manner.Other than call centres that has been discussed earlier the organizations that still adopt thework practice are automobile manufacturers and computer manufacturers since theirprocesses are repetitive in nature (Cerdin& Brewster, 2014).
