Abstract


The paper presents a brief history of the current situation on the part of ergonomics in automotive companies related IMES systems as well as key points from a process that highlights the importance of ergonomics procedures in a company. The ergonomics part is very important within the IMES systems because in addition to the management of the resources, management of the movements of the operators can be done. The integration of IMES and ergonomics is vital for the following reasons: Safety and Productivity, Quality Control and Sustainability. The integration of ergonomics and IMES enhances human performance and resource efficiency, hence supporting sustainable production practices in the automotive sector. The study also includes the maintenance part of an IMES system from an ergonomic point of view and comes with some recommendations in different maintenance steps.
