Its main objective is improving economic efficiency, especially labor productivity . It was one of the earliest attempts to apply science to the engineering of processes and to management . Scientific management is sometimes known as Taylorism after its founder, Frederick Winslow Taylor . </P> <P> Taylor began the theory's development in the United States during the 1880s and' 90s within manufacturing industries, especially steel . Its peak of influence came in the 1910s; In 1913 Vladimir Lenin wrote that the "most widely discussed topic today in Europe, and to some extent in Russia, is the' system' of the American engineer, Frederick Taylor"; Lenin decried it initially as a "' scientific' system of sweating" more work from laborers . Taylor died in 1915 and by the 1920s, scientific management was still influential but had entered into competition and syncretism with opposing or complementary ideas . </P>
