Abstract

The main objective of this study is to contribute toward a comprehensive understanding of the advantages of modern technology not only in business management but also from the aspect of work safety and ergonomics.

For better use of resources, an enterprise needs to plan and undertake a variety of planning activities like demand planning, production planning, materials planning and budgeting, and financial planning. In this case, employees are a very important resource and should be the main focus of these plans. Their competences, knowledge, skills and needs should be taken into account when designing and implementing management information systems.

The article presents the way an improved information system for business management can affect work safety and ergonomics in the company. The paper includes the procedure for a needs analysis in the field of ergonomics and work safety in order to prepare guidelines for the information system.
