Propuesta de mejora en los procesos operativos para el área valor agregado de una procesadora de alimentos acuícolas ubicado en el Cantón Durán

Abstract

The present technical research project was carried out based on the information obtained directly from the aquaculture food processor, where through the information collection technique such as field observation, deficiencies were found and verified in the shrimp entry process until it arrived. to its distribution. The research objective was to propose an improvement in the processes using the Kaizen tool in order to determine the bottlenecks that exist in the process of the added value area. After carrying out the Kaizen methodology, we proceeded to define and establish the procedures that the operators of each point of the process must follow, for them flow charts were made with the necessary information on how to carry out the processes step by step. Additionally, the necessary implements for the distribution of the shrimp were defined, with the respective identification labels on the final product.
