"I was trained at bte

In 2010, Axsens and le bureau des temps élémentaires (bte) merge to become Axsens bte

The Bureau des temps élémentaires (bte) was created in 1938 through the cooperation of major companies of the time within the Comité National de l'Organisation Française (CNOF), and quickly established itself as the benchmark for the study of work.

In 1942, bte separated from the CNOF and became an association under the 1901 law. It focuses mainly on the study and measurement of time, methods and scheduling, in line with the scientific organization of work (OST).

bte has also played a key role in training thousands of companies and trainees through internships.

In the 1970s-1980s, the emergence of the management participative ideas promoted by Toyotism disrupted the development of bte until it was bought out in 1997 by Jean-Luc Subra.

Since 2010, it has undergone a new expansion, merging with the Axsens brand to become Axsens bte.
