I. Evolution of Management Science
DATE
CONTRIBUTION
CONTRIBUTOR
Unknown Year BC
Credited with a treatise on organization principles in Chapter 18 of the Book of Exodus.
Jethro
212 BC
Devised means on how to break the naval siege of Syracuse which was attacked then by the Romans. Known to be one of the earliest operations research evident on history.
Archimedes
Unknown
Invention of work/operations specification (first evidence).
Venice Skilled Ship Workers
Unknown
Institution of Hellenistic and Roman state-run arms factories that had been helpful in the military operations of the Romans.
Romans
American Civil War
Invention of standard clothing sizes to meet the needs of the Union Army during the American Civil War and had made the production of clothing faster (no need to measure the clothing sizes of each person).
American Tailors
Late 1832
Wrote ‘On the Economy of Machinery and Manufacturers’, showed much industrial engineering insight.
Charles Babbage
Late 19th Century
Studied on the application of the scientific method to a management problem, which renowned him to be the ‘Father of Scientific Management’.
Frederick Taylor
Known for his work in scheduling production, later was developed as the Gantt Chart.
Henry Gantt
1907
Published a paper reporting on waiting times and number of calls that later, had been helpful in solving problems in telephone traffic.
Johannsen
1914-1915
Attempted to treat military operations quantitatively, derived equations relating the outcome of a battle to both the relative numerical strength of the combatants and the relative firepower. Pioneered military MS/OR in Great Britain during World War I.
F.W. Lanchester
Studied the process of antisubmarine warfare in America. He collected statistics to be used in analyzing maneuvers whereby surface ships could evade and destroy submarines. Used a prototype simulation (a war game) that had been useful in solving problems for naval maneuvers. He
