This project consists of the study of the application of the 5s methodology in the area of production, administration and storage, within the Patastal farm, which is dedicated to banana plantations. Thanks to this work it was possible to determine the improvement in its processes since the methods of organization, order, cleanliness, standardization and discipline allowed to establish how the classification of each of the tools that were dispersed in the different parts should be carried out. of the Patastal farm, which were an obstacle for a correct work of daily activities. A manager was also appointed for each of the areas, who will be changed every week, the same one who will be responsible for each function being carried out correctly and that the processes established through the 5s methodology are carried out. The work implemented a 5s system which allows the restructuring of storage areas, classifying tools and products according to their classification or use, so that a space was established for work tools in one warehouse, pesticides in others and so on, obtaining in this way the easy realization of the inventories of each of the elements that are stored in the Patastal farm. Finally, an organized data management system was designed, using the Excel program, where an automated sheet was made that allows control of production and thus obtain the total values and expected profits of each product offered by the company.
