Henry Laurence Gantt the Gantt Chart Thinker 022 Henry Laurence Gantt The Gantt Chart Thinker 022 The Gantt Chart Henry Laurence Gantt’s legacy to management is the Gantt Chart. Accepted as a commonplace project management tool today, it was an innovation of world-wide importance in the 1920s. But the Chart was not Gantt’s only legacy; he was also a forerunner of the Human Relations School of management and an early spokesman for the social responsibility of business. Life and career Henry Gantt (1861-1919) was born into a family of prosperous farmers in Maryland in 1861. His early years, however, were marked by some deprivation as the Civil War brought about changes to the family fortunes. He graduated from Johns Hopkins College and was a teacher before becoming a draughtsman in 1884 and qualifying as a mechanical engineer. From 1887 to 1893 he worked at the Midvale Steel Company in Philadelphia, where he became Assistant to the Chief Engineer (FW Taylor) and then Superintendent of the Casting Department. Gantt and Taylor worked well in their early years together and Gantt followed Taylor to Simonds Rolling Company and on to Bethlehem Steel. From 1900 Gantt became well known in his own right as a successful consultant as he developed interests in broader, even conflicting, aspects of management. In 1917 he accepted a government commission to contribute to the war effort in the Frankford Arsenal and for the Emergency Fleet Corporation. He died in 1919. Gantt’s contribution Gantt is often seen as a disciple of Taylor and a promoter of the scientific school of management. In his early career, the influence of Taylor - and Gantt’s aptitude for problem-solving - resulted in attempts to address the technical problems of scientific management. Like Taylor, Gantt believed that it was only the application of scientific analysis to every aspect of work which could produce industrial efficiency, and that improvements in management came from eliminating chance and accidents. Gantt made four individual and notable contributions. 1. The task and bonus system Gantt’s Task and Bonus wage system was introduced in 1901 as a variation on Taylor’s differential piece- rate system. With Gantt’s system, the employee received a bonus in addition to his regular day rate if he accomplished the task for the day; he would still receive the day rate even if the task was not completed, whereas Taylor’s piece-rate system penalised employees for sub-standard performance. As a result of introducing Gantt’s system, which enabled workers to earn a living while learning to increase their efficiency, production often more than doubled. This convinced Gantt that concern for the worker and employee morale All rights reserved.

The perspective of the worker Gantt realised that his system offered little incentive to do more than just meet the standard. He subsequently modified it to pay according to time allowed, plus a percentage of that time if the task were completed in that time or less. Hence a worker could receive three hours pay for doing a two-hour job in two hours or less. But here Gantt brought in an innovation, by paying the foreman a bonus if all the workers met the required standard. This constituted one of the earliest recorded attempts to reward the foreman for teaching workers to improve the way they worked. In Work, Wages and Profits Gantt wrote: `Whatever we do must be in accord with human nature. We cannot drive people; we must direct their development....the general policy of the past has been to drive; but the era of force must give way to that of knowledge, and the policy of the future will be to teach and lead, to the advantage of all concerned’. Gantt was interested in an aspect of industrial education which he called the `habits of industry’ - habits of industriousness and co-operation, doing work to the best of one’s ability, and pride in the quality as well as the quantity of work. From his experience as a teacher, Gantt hoped that his bonus system would help to convert the foreman from an overseer and driver of workers to a helper and teacher of subordinates. 3. The chart Gantt’s Bar Chart started as a humble but effective mechanism for recording the progress of workers towards the task standard. A daily record was kept for each worker - in black, if he met the standard, in red, if he didn’t. This expanded into further charts on quantity of work per machines, quantity of work per worker, cost control and other subjects. It was whilst grappling with the problem of tracking all the various tasks and activities of government departments on the war effort in 1917, that Gantt realised he should be scheduling on the basis of time and not on quantities. His solution was a bar chart which showed how work was scheduled over time through to its completion. This enabled management to see, in graphic form, how well work was progressing, and indicated when and where action would be necessary to keep on time. Gantt Charts have been applied to all kinds of projects to illustrate how scheduling may be best achieved. To illustrate a Gantt Chart we take the mini-project of redecorating an office with the steps of: a) establishing the terms of reference and standards of quality, cost and time b) informing all appropriate personnel and customers c) arranging alternative accommodation d) preparing the office e) redecorating.

The social responsibility of business After the death of Taylor in 1917, Gantt seemed to distance himself further from the core principles of scientific management and extended his management interests to the function of leadership and the role of the firm itself. As his thinking developed, he believed increasingly that management had obligations to the community at large, and that the profitable organisation had a duty towards the welfare of society. In Organizing for Work, he argued that there was a conflict between profits and service, and that the businessman who says that profits are more important than the service he renders `has forgotten that his business system had a foundation in service, and as far as the community is concerned has no reason for existence except the service it can render.’ These concerns led him to assert that: `the business system must accept its social responsibility and devote itself primarily to service, or the community will ultimately make the attempt to take it over in order to operate it in its own interest.’ Gantt was hugely influenced by the events in Russia in 1917 and, in fear that big business was sacrificing service to profit, he began to attack the profit system itself, calling for public service corporations to ensure service to the community. In perspective Gantt was a prolific writer and speaker. He addressed the American Society of Mechanical Engineers on a number of occasions. One of his papers - Training Workmen in Habits of Industry and Co-operation (1908) - has been noted by several commentators as giving a unique insight into the human relations dimension of management at a time when scientific management was at its peak. His approach to the foreman as teacher marks him as an early contributor to human behavioural thought in a line which stretches back to Owen and forward with Mayo to the present day. His approach to the duty of the firm towards society also singles him out as one of the earliest spokesmen on the social responsibility of business. But it is as the inventor of the Gantt Chart that he will be remembered. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the publisher. It has been suggested that his thinking became somewhat vague shortly before his death, as he began to situate the work of the firm in a broader, national and political context. It seems that there was a struggle in his later years between service and appropriate rewards on the one hand and socialist control policies on the other. Gantt never profited from his enduring innovation, and his books are illustrated with examples of charts showing `work in progress’ rather than the lateral project bar chart with which we are more familiar today. He did receive the Distinguished Service Medal from the government, but it was a member of Gantt’s consulting firm, Wallace Clark, who popularised the idea of the Gantt Chart in a book which was translated into eight languages.

  • Timelines and Student Project Planning in Middle School Technology /Engineering Education Exercises
    Session Number 2530 Timelines and Student Project Planning in Middle School Technology /Engineering Education Exercises Timothy Harrah1, Bradford George2 and Martha Cyr1 1Tufts University Center for Engineering Education Outreach Tufts University, Medford, MA 02460 / 2 Hale Middle School Nashoba Regional School District, Stow, MA 01775 Abstract In the practice of professional engineering design, nearly all work is ultimately completed in a team format and under a deadline. It is therefore relevant to reflect, on some level, the demands of these real world constraints in instructional problem solving activities as well. It is our belief and experience that the integration of these concepts may be made successfully as early as grades seven and eight. While team based interactive learning has consistently been a focus of the Tufts University/Nashoba Regional School District NSF GK-12 program, over the past academic year, the concept of student directed project planning has also been implemented. This primarily involves the creation of a project specific Gantt chart, which is a common tool in industrial project management. This has similar benefit to students as to working professionals in that advanced planning allows for the broad survey of project scope and for the allocation of time and personnel resources to various tasks that are component to its efficient and timely completion. As the planned tasks mirror the steps of the engineering design process, this exercise also becomes a pedagogical tool to review and reinforce this material. In addition, the usefulness of the graphical representation of information is also emphasized. It is our experience that students respond well to this exercise and in the periodic charting of actual progress against initial goals, experience the reinforcement of planning skills which are broadly applicable to many types of team based problems.

  • Henry L Gantt, 1861-1919: Debunking the Myths Vol
    PM World Journal Henry L Gantt, 1861-1919: Debunking the myths Vol. I, Issue V – December 2012 a retrospective view of his work www.pmworldjournal.net Featured Paper Patrick Weaver Henry L Gantt, 1861 - 1919 Debunking the myths, a retrospective view of his work By Patrick Weaver Henry Laurence Gantt, A.B., M.E. was an American mechanical engineer and management consultant who is best known for developing the Gantt chart in the 1910s. However, the charts Henry Gantt developed and used are nothing like the charts that are erroneously referred to as ‘Gantt Charts’ by modern project managers. It is a tragedy that Gantt’s real contributions to the advancement of management science are obscured by two glaring misconceptions that continue to be perpetuated by sloppy scholarship with various authors repeating earlier incorrect assertions without ever bothering to check the original source materials. This article is intended to set the record straight and recognise Gantt for his real achievements! Henry Gantt was a very important management scientist; his contribution to production engineering is rightly recognised by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) by awarding an annual medal in his honour. The Henry Laurence Gantt Medal, was established in 1929 and elevated to a Society award in 1999, it is given for distinguished achievement in management and for service to the community. Hopefully by the time you have finished this paper, you will agree the following myths should be ‘busted’ once and for all: Misconception #1 Henry Gantt developed ‘Bar Charts’ – Fact, bar charts were developed 100 years before Gantt, his charts were sophisticated production control tools, not simple representations of activities over time.

  • Public Administration Vs Private Administration
    Question: Difference between Public and Private Administration? The main distinction between the private sector and the public sector is principally there ownership. Private sectors are owned by shareholders or entrepreneurs while public sectors are jointly owned by members of political communities. Public agencies are funded by taxation whereas private agencies are funded by the pay of their consumers. Public sectors are controlled by political forces and private sectors are controlled by market forces. The Difference between the Private and Public Sector It is important to understand the difference between the private sector and public sector because your privacy rights will differ depending on the legislation that an organization is governed under. The Private Sector The private sector is usually composed of organizations that are privately owned and not part of the government. These usually includes corporations (both profit and non-profit), partnerships, and charities. An easier way to think of the private sector is by thinking of organizations that are not owned or operated by the government. For example, retail stores, credit unions, and local businesses will operate in the private sector. The Public Sector The public sector is usually composed of organizations that are owned and operated by the government. This includes federal, provincial, state, or municipal governments, depending on where you live. Privacy legislation usually calls organizations in the public sector a public body or a public authority. Some examples of public bodies in Canada and the United Kingdom are educational bodies, health care bodies, police and prison services, and local and central government bodies and their departments.

Herrmann ISR develops, applies and teaches advanced methodologies of design and analysis to solve complex, hierarchical, heterogeneous and dynamic prob- lems of engineering technology and systems for industry and government. ISR is a permanent institute of the University of Maryland, within the A. James Clark School of Engineering. It is a graduated National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center. www.isr.umd.edu THE LEGACY OF TAYLOR, GANTT, AND JOHNSON: HOW TO IMPROVE PRODUCTION SCHEDULING JEFFREY W. HERRMANN Department of Mechanical Engineering and Institute for Systems Research University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, [email protected] The challenge of improving production scheduling has inspired many different approaches. This paper examines the key contributions of three individuals who improved production scheduling: Frederick Taylor, who defined the key planning functions and created a planning office; Henry Gantt, who provided useful charts to improve scheduling decision-making, and S.M. Johnson, who initiated the mathematical analysis of production scheduling problems. The paper presents an integrative strategy to improve production scheduling that synthesizes these complementary approaches. Finally, the paper discusses the soundness of this approach and its implications on OR research, education, and practice. Subject classifications: Production/scheduling: sequencing. Professional: OR/MS philosophy. 1 1. INTRODUCTION Manufacturing facilities are complex, dynamic, stochastic systems. From the beginning of organized manufacturing, workers, supervisors, engineers, and managers have developed many clever and practical methods for controlling production activities. Many manufacturing organizations generate and update production schedules, which are plans that state when certain controllable activities (e.g., processing of jobs by resources) should take place.
