Taylorism, Fordism and Toyotism. These three systems or models of industrial production were very important and had a great impact on history. However, they can still be seen on the market.
Or they served as a reference for many other models. Which always evolve over time. But there are some very significant differences between these three models.
Therefore, now understand what Taylorism, Fordism and Toyotism are in a very summarized and practical way! You want to receive tips and information to set up your own business. So subscribe to this channel and stay up to date with everything you need to know to open your own company.
Here we will explain what Taylorism, Fordism and Toyotism are in a very summarized and straight to the point way. However, if you want to understand each of them in more detail, we will leave links to the full videos that explain them in more depth, okay? Also, with a really cool tip at the end of this video.
So, let's go! WHAT IS TAYLORISM Basically, it is a production method created by the American theorist Frederick Taylor at the end of the 19th century. This method was characterized by the rationalization of work.
In other words, the specialization of employees was seen as a high point of Taylorism. Standardizing and automating production as much as possible. In this way, each employee was trained and qualified to perform just a few specific tasks, instead of performing several tasks.
All this with the aim of maximizing the productivity of each professional. And, consequently, the company's overall production as well. In other words, every aspect of the work was scientifically planned to optimize production.
In scientific terms indeed. Furthermore, Taylorism argued that it was the responsibility of company managers to develop adequate production systems to achieve economic efficiency. It is precisely because of all this that this method can be called scientific management.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS AND PRINCIPLES Taylorism adopted scientific methods rather than practical rules. In other words, instead of doing things a certain way without having a big reason behind it, managers should use the scientific method to determine the best way to perform tasks. All based on data and studies.
Another point is the separation of tasks according to the employees’ skills. Instead of delegating activities randomly, managers should analyze each employee's skills and train them to achieve maximum efficiency in a specific task. Another pillar is monitoring work performance.
Therefore, managers must evaluate the efficiency of employees and guide them whenever necessary to ensure their productivity. And achieve goals and objectives. This separation refers to functions between managers and employees.
Therefore, managers must be responsible for planning and training. While employees implement what they were trained and delegated to do. And all of this was done to reduce process time , which was the main focus of Taylor's research and ideas.
In this way, Taylorism aimed to reduce the process time to complete a task to improve efficiency and increase productivity. At the same time, reduce all possible expenses to maximize profits. Thus, his experiments consisted of dividing work into specific tasks, using a stopwatch to measure the time spent on each one, and rearranging them to create an optimized sequence.
Therefore, many of his experiments consisted of dividing the work into more specific tasks, timing the time spent on each one to understand the current process. And then reorganize them to create a well-optimized and organized sequence. So, if you want to understand Taylorism more completely, watch the video about this model.

Mainly due to its innovative approach to car production, the aim of which was to reduce the company's and vehicle's production time and costs.
And with cost reduction, it was possible to offer products to the population at affordable prices. more accessible. Fordism takes its name because it was created by Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, in 1914.
Thus, Fordism also represented a historical milestone in the second industrial revolution. Since it contributed to the development of machinery and industrial facilities never seen before. This is precisely why this model is still widely used today.
In fact, it is being replicated in different types of sectors, and not just in automobiles. But with some adjustments. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS AND PRINCIPLES In Fordism, the assembly line was developed with the main objective of reducing production time and accelerating the arrival of goods or products to final consumers.
Therefore, this production model is based on 3 pillars: AUTOMATION To achieve this objective, the assembly line was automated, making the process more organized. As a result, workers began to specialize in one main activity, which intensified the pace of work. In other words, each employee was responsible for a specific part of the production of the material.
Therefore, a high professional qualification was not required, since the worker only needed to master the specific manual activity. ECONOMY Likewise, the objective was to reduce inventory. Because as we have always said here on the Blog, idle stock means a loss of money.
Therefore, with reduced stock, waste is avoided and production-related costs are reduced. As an example, we can mention the fact that all cars available for sale were painted black. Because this was the cheapest paint and it dried the fastest.
PRODUCTIVITY In relation to this pillar, the fact that employees repeatedly perform the same function made them experts in the area. And this allowed them to carry out their work in a shorter period of time without compromising quality. Thus, productivity tended to increase, greatly reducing the chances of errors and waste.

In this way, we try to reduce the possibility of errors as much as possible. But always maintaining the expected quality. Furthermore, it focuses on reducing the quantity of products in stock.
As a result, increase the efficiency of a production. It was created by Toyota in the post-war period, where it was necessary to optimize processes as much as possible to avoid any type of waste. And that is precisely why this methodology can also be called the Toyota Production System.
At the same time, it was the basis for the Lean Manufacturing methodology (or Lean Manufacturing, in Portuguese). MAIN CHARACTERISTICS AND PRINCIPLES In a practical way, Toyotism is based on principles to follow its philosophy. And the main ones are: automation, Just in Time and Kanban.
AUTOMATION It is about using machines or technology to work automatically, literally. With little interference from a person or professional, for example. All of this in an attempt to ensure greater productivity, efficiency and quality for the company's overall production.
JUST IN TIME In short, it is a management methodology in which the company purchases and produces only the exact amount of raw materials or products to meet the demands of its customers at the right time. Without the company producing, transporting, selling or purchasing something before the right time. Therefore, it causes the company to use its resources as leanly as possible, but at the same time efficiently.
KANBAN Basically, it is a visual system for managing work or production flow in companies and projects that uses colored cards (or post-its) organized in a table separated by columns. The focus is to prioritize productivity and organization of deliveries. Always with the aim of providing more transparent, agile and targeted work.

They certainly revolutionized the market in their time. And they still serve as a reference for new models that emerge today. In fact, as promised, we highly suggest knowing and understanding Industry 4.
0, which is also known as the 4th INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. Which, in short, represents the digital transformation process that takes place in industries. Thus, it shows the increasing use of new technologies and innovations.
And currently, it is fundamental in all production models . They never stop evolving and still have a lot of room to explore. Therefore, if you want to understand more about Industry 4.
