Excerpt from Household Engineering: Scientific Management in the Home
Things were dragging on in this unsatisfactory way and I was becoming more and more discouraged with what seemed my lack of ability to manage my household prob lem.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of how the principles of scientific management, a revolutionary approach to work popularized in the early 20th century, can be applied to the domain of homemaking. The author, herself a woman grappling with the challenges of managing a household and raising children, embarks on a quest to find a more efficient and fulfilling way to manage her home. She delves into the fundamentals of scientific management, breaking down its core principles and illustrating their impact through real-world examples from factories and workshops. Through personal anecdotes and insightful time studies, she demonstrates how the same principles of standardized operations, efficient work flow, and specialized tools can be implemented in the home, particularly in the kitchen. The book offers practical advice on everything from organizing kitchens and grouping equipment to choosing the right floor coverings and achieving optimal lighting. This book challenges traditional notions of homemaking and offers a fresh perspective on a subject often deemed domestic and mundane. By bridging the gap between industrial efficiency and the domestic sphere, it invites readers to think differently about the tasks and challenges of running a home. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
