Scheduling

HENRY LAURENCE GANTT

(1861– 1919)

Henry Laurence Gantt was an industrial engineer and a disciple of Frederick

W. Taylor. He developed his now famous charts during World War I to compare

production schedules with their realizations. Gantt discussed the underlying prin-

ciples in his paper “Efﬁciency and Democracy,” which he presented at the annual

meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1918. The Gantt charts

currently in use are typically a simpliﬁcation of the originals, both in purpose and in

design.
