The efficiency movement was a major movement in the United States, Britain and other industrial nations in the early 20th century that sought to identify and eliminate waste in all areas of the economy and society, and to develop and implement best practices.^[1] The concept covered mechanical, economic, social, and personal improvement.^[2] The quest for efficiency promised effective, dynamic management rewarded by growth.^[3]

As a result of the influence of an early proponent, it is more often known as Taylorism.
