Editing Scientific management (section)

== Name ==
Taylor's own names for his approach initially included "shop management" and "process management". However, "scientific management" came to national attention in 1910 when attorney [[Louis Brandeis]] (then not yet Supreme Court justice) popularized the term.<ref name="Drury1915pp15-21">{{Harvnb|Drury|1918|pp=[https://archive.org/stream/cu31924002406647#page/n19/mode/2up/ 15–21, 292]}}.
</ref> Brandeis had sought a consensus term for the approach with the help of practitioners like [[Henry L. Gantt]] and [[Frank B. Gilbreth]]. Brandeis then used the consensus of "SCIENTIFIC management" when he argued before the [[Interstate Commerce Commission|Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)]] that a proposed increase in railroad rates was unnecessary despite an increase in labor costs; he alleged scientific management would overcome railroad inefficiencies (The ICC ruled against the rate increase, but also dismissed as insufficiently substantiated that concept the railroads were necessarily inefficient.) Taylor recognized the nationally known term "scientific management" as another good name for the concept, and adopted it in the title of [[The Principles of Scientific Management (monograph)|his influential 1911 monograph]].
