Shop Floor Human Resource Management



It is production who do shop floor human resource management. They are in touch with every employee eight hours or more every day. What is the theory that supports them in their managerial activity.

F.W. Taylor advocated that managers take the responsibility for developing methods of accomplishing the required tasks and for training recruit in those methods. He wanted a foreman in charge of discipline apart from other foremen who look after specific aspects of methods.

Juan López-Cotarelo, Industrial Relations Research Unit, Warwick Business School  points out that line managers play a central role in human resource management. In many organisations, they are charged with myriad HR-related tasks, such as filling out performance appraisal forms, interviewing candidates for employment, making salary increase recommendations and breaking employment-related news –good and bad- to employees.


He also points out that treatment of line managers in the human resource management literature has been at best patchy. The ‘functional’ or ‘micro’ HRM subfield (Wright and Boswell, 2002) has produced knowledge about the role of line managers in the separate HR processes, such as personnel selection and performance appraisals. Most of the work in this subfield however has focused on describing the various ways in which managers can be subject to biases in their decision making. For instance, the personnel selection literature has shown that the behaviour of interviewers influences the performance of applicants (Liden et al., 1993), and that interviewer similarity and affect towards the interviewee is linked to perceived job suitability of the applicant (Howard and Ferris, 1996). Likewise, the performance appraisal literature has devoted much effort to determining the effects of rater affect and rater similarity on performance evaluations (Levy and Williams, 2004) On the ‘macro’ or ‘strategic’ side of the literature (Wright and Boswell, 2002), research has almost universally espoused a research design which has limited attention to line manager actions.

Manufacturing Management - History



Manufacturing management came into existence only after the development of factory system. Large number of people were employed in armies, church activities and construction activities before. But large number of people were not employed in manufacturing activities till the emergence of factory system of production which employed machines driven by steam and hydraulic power.

The series of events that resulted in factory system occurred largely in England during 1770 to early 1800. Eight inventions were responsible for this.

1. Hargreaves'  Spinning Jenny
2. Arkwright's Water Frame
3. Crompton's Mule
4. Cartwrights's Power Loom
5. Watt's Steam Engine
6. Berthollet's Chlorine Bleaching Process
7. Maudslay's Screw-Cutting Lathe
8. Interchangeable Manufacture

Harold Amrine, John A. Ritchey, Oliver S. Helley



Charles Babbage

The work of Charles Babbage, On the Economy of Machinery in Manufacturing can be cited as the first book related to manufacturing management.

Frederick W. Taylor

Taylor's paper on "A Piece Rate System" dealth with payments to workers of factories. His paper "Shop Management" published in 1903 is totally devoted to manufacturing management. He published "The Principles of Scientific Management" in 1911 and this is also a contribution in the area of manufacturing management.

At individual corporate and business levels, it involves selection of industries and products to produce and distribute.


Manpower Education and Training


Manpower education and training responsibility is on corporate bodies or sovereign bodies at all levels. Manufacturing manpower is to be educated and trained in technical skills, managerial skills and citizenship skills as well as social skills and living skills
