Engineers whose defining technological contribution is organizing labor, workflow and quality across a manufacturing operation rather than a single machine or material. Belongs here: Frederick Winslow Taylor for scientific management, Lillian Gilbreth for time-and-motion study, Taiichi Ohno for the Toyota Production System, and W. Edwards Deming and Walter A. Shewhart for statistical quality control.
