	Henry Gantt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henry Laurence Gantt, A.B.; M.E.) was a mechanical engineer and management consultant who is most famous for developing the Gantt chart in the 1910s.
		These Gantt charts were employed on major infrastructure projects including the Hoover Dam and Interstate highway system and still are an important tool in project management.
		In his later career as a management consultant, in addition to the Gantt chart, he also designed the 'task and bonus' system of wage payment and developed methods of measuring worker efficiency and productivity.

		Henry Gantt’s name is attached to a family of widely used scheduling charts.
		While Gantt’s original chart was for the control of repetitive manufacturing, today simpler forms of Gantt charts are more widely used in services, where routings are short and queues have few chances to form.
		Also, while Gantt chart may be constructed from a need date backward or from a start date forward, backward scheduling is more likely to be the case in complex job settings.

		Under questioning following the presentation of the paper, however, he accepted that to be effective, a differential piece-rate system such as he proposed would require workers to be highly skilled, trained and motivated; it was probably beyond the ability of the average untrained worker to reach the productivity levels he considered satisfactory.
		Perhaps the most perceptive comment from the audience was that made by Henry Gantt, who said that for the system to work, the man setting the piece rate would have to be a manager of exceptional skill and judgement (Taylor 1895).
		At Bethlehem he gathered around him a team of colleagues including Henry Gantt and Carl Barth, and this group began to tackle the problem that Gantt had identified, that of assessing the nature of the work for which the workers were to be rewarded.
