During the industrial revolution, machinery allowed factories to grow in capacity and greatly increased their output. Despite this growth, there was considerable inefficiency in production. Two individuals helped to overcome these inefficiencies in the early 20th century: Frederick Winslow Taylor and Ford. Taylor developed a scientific approach for operations management, collecting data about production, analyzing this data and using it to make improvements to operations. Ford increased efficiency in production by introducing assembly line production and improved the supply chain through just-in-time delivery.
