Abstract

The current research is entitled “Proposal for a continuous improvement plan for the packaging process in a banana export company”. This technical project addresses the problems related to the intense competition in the international market, which highlights the need for companies to adopt processes that are both efficient and optimized. This situation is especially relevant in the agricultural sector of Ecuador, a country that has achieved a prominent place in the global market through banana exports. The main objective of this research was to design a continuous improvement plan aimed at optimizing the packaging process in the exporting company, focusing on the identification and elimination of waste, the adoption of more efficient practices and quality improvement. The aim was to increase productivity, reduce costs and ensure compliance with the quality standards required by both clients and international regulations.
