Question

what aspect of frederick winslow taylors scientific management style has been reversed in contemporary management approaches such as six sigma?
replacing work stations with assembly lines
workers not considered qualified to improve processes
importance of eliminating waste
need for a skilled workforce

Explanation:

Frederick Winslow Taylor's scientific management style assumed that workers were not qualified to improve processes. Management was seen as the sole entity responsible for process improvement. In contrast, contemporary management approaches like Six Sigma involve workers in process improvement. Workers are trained in Six Sigma methodologies (e.g., DMAIC - Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) and are actively involved in identifying and solving problems in their work processes. This is a reversal of Taylor's view where workers were just executors of tasks designed by management.

Answer:

workers not considered qualified to improve processes
