A procedure designed and developed in Cuba is presented and also, its phases and steps that have been applied to manufacture and service enterprises are explained. Participative Ergonomics is a distinctive aspect of Macroergonomics that is considered in the tool that is presented. The principal results obtained in various applications carried out in Cuba showed improvement of quality, productivity and work life quality of the workers.
