Taylorism initiated certain aspects and features of production that were originally not acknowledged at the time. Moreover, by scrutinizing workers, he established that workers must be allowed breaks throughout their day, so that the employee has moment to recuperate from exhaustion from the works day.
Taylorism brought criticism as well. Its application has two inherent difficult. Firstly, it ignores individual differences. The most efficient way of working for one person may be inefficient for another. Moreover, it disregards the issue of economic advantage of workers and management are hardly ever identical, in order that mutually the measurement processes and the retraining required by Taylor’s methods would regularly be disliked and often times sabotaged by the workforce. (Russell, 2011)
Taylorism is classified as a prominent sector of the work force that is pressed to its commonsensical extreme, with a resulting decrease in the skill set of the worker and dehumanization of the workplace.
Fordism suffered kinds of limits which lead to decline of Fordism. For instance, it was to be undone by a limit to mass consumption. Productive improvements had a limit with technology involved. Workers are alienated with little interest in their work, beyond the pay pocket at the end of the week. Wages were not everything to all workers. The most important issue is de-skilling, which means the removal of skills from work by the application of new machinery and new techniques which simplify tasks. (David, 2011)
泰罗发起最初不承认在当时生产的某些方面和特征。此外，通过审核的工人，他建立了，工人必须休息，在整个一天的生活，让员工有时间来恢复体力远离用尽天的作品。
泰罗带来的批评也是如此。它的应用有两个固有的困难。首先，它忽视了个体差异。最有效的方式为一个人工作，另一个可能是低效的。此外，它无视工人和管理的问题，经济上的优势是几乎没有相同的，为了相互间的测量过程和再培训需要由泰勒的方法经常被不喜欢，很多时候破坏了劳动力。 （罗素，2011年）
泰罗被列为一个突出的工作部门的力量，按常识的极端，由此可减少技能工人和非人性化的工作场所。
福特主义遭受了各种限制导致拒绝福特主义。例如，要撤消限制大众消费。生产力的改善也有限制，涉及的技术。工人们疏远了与他们的工作兴趣不大，超出了薪酬的口袋里在本周结束。工资不是万能的所有工人。最重要的问题是提高技能，这意味着去除简化任务的新机器和新技术的应用工作技能。 （大卫，2011）
