Henry Wallace Clark
Henry Wallace Clark (July 27, 1880 – April 7, 1948) was an American consulting engineer, known for popularizing the work of Henry Gantt with his 1922 work "The Gantt chart; a working tool of management".
In 1934 he was awarded the Henry Laurence Gantt Medal by the ASME. A year after his death the Wallace Clark Award was initiated, an award for distinguished contribution to scientific management in the international field.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio to William Allen Clark and Mary Ann Clark (born Rankin), Clark attended the local schools, and graduated in 1902 from the University of Cincinnati.
After graduation Clark started his career as assistant manager at the Machine Tool Co. of Cincinnati, and spend one year in the Orient. From 1910 to 1917 he was employed by the Remington Typewriter Company, where he was private secretary to the President. and ended up as office manager. Here Clark met Henry Gantt, who had reorganized the Remington Typewriter factory at Ilion, New York in 1910. From 1919 to 1920 Clark was staff engineer at the H.L. Gantt Company.
In 1920 Clark founded his own management consulting company Wallace Clark & Co. in New York, specialized in international management. It grew with offices in London, Berlin Prague, Warsaw, Geneva and Athens. Among his employees was Walter Polakov, who had launching his own consulting company in 1915, and Paul Eugene Holden in the year 1930-31. Another employee was the Frenchman Serge Heranger, who wrote the article "Applying the Gantt Chart in France."
In the 1949 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and three other societies initiated the annual Wallace Clark Award for distinguished contribution to scientific management in the international field.
Clark was "disciple of Henry Gantt", and worked in the tradition of Frederick Taylor and the Scientific management.
The scientific management movement had originated with Frederick W. Taylor’s 1911 book Scientific Management, in which Taylor argued for the application of physical engineering principles to the organization of manufacturing companies. Clark became one the movement’s more prolific exponents.
