Schmidt is a character in Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Winslow Taylor. His true identity was Henry Noll. In Principles, Taylor described how between 1898–1901 at Bethlehem Steel he had motivated Schmidt to increase his workload from carrying 12 tons of pig iron per day to 47 tons. He had done so by promising Schmidt a higher rate of pay for a level of output determined by management. For increasing his output by a factor of four, Schmidt earned 60% more pay. Taylor's example of Schmidt is still taught widely in business and management education.
