BENEFITS FOR SOUTH WEST ERLIER Ergonomics is not easily applicable in SMEs

standards and government regulation are not the law existence of many of these standards and government regulation penetration of new techniques in Ergonomics

NOW Interest in Ergonomics in Czech Republic is growing rapidly:

Czech Ergonomic Society Master theses and Bachelor theses Purchases of sophisticated ergonomic softwares

DELMIA – Ergonomics Design and Analysis Tecnomatix – JACK

Managers want to improve the working environment

THEREFORE the enterprises need our help and we need to be connected and synchronized in Europe – new and easy ergo methods.
