Abstract

Since organizations aim for prominence and success compared to competitors and for this it is crucial to carry out good management, this work is based on the studies of Frederick Taylor in his book “Principles of Scientific Administration”. Scientific management is a system of rational work organization, specifically as a scientific management method, its principles promote timeless efficient management solutions. Based on the above, the present study aimed to analyze which ways the Principles of Scientific Management can improve production in the Kosnattu’s Natural cosmetics company. To achieve this, the study used a qualitativequantitative methodology and was based on bibliographic and descriptive research. The path taken to obtain the results and achieve the objectives was an on-site visit, application of an open questionnaire, with 22 questions to the population of 8 employees of the verified company and measurement of the production environment. An analysis of the applicability of the Principles of Scientific Management and elements and tools recommended by Taylor in the company was carried out. This demonstrated the application of three of the four principles of scientific management: preparation, execution and control. Using the flowchart, the researched company's production processes and their stages were mapped. Eight stages were carried out: collection of raw materials, checking and quality control, handling, filling, labeling, packaging 2, selection and shipping. After measuring the distance covered during the mapped process, a fault in the layout was identified. Through data analysis, it was possible to propose a new layout for the production area, envisioning improvements and optimization of production.
