    Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are a set of fundamental guidelines for minimizing contamination risks and ensuring product quality. The process of developing the GMP manual began with an exhaustive diagnosis of the microenterprise's current situation, using a verification guide validated by experts and based on Resolution ARCSA-016-2022-AKRG, which regulates sanitary requirements for processed foods. This diagnosis revealed 62 percent compliance, 28 percent noncompliance, concentrated mainly in production operations, quality control assurance and traceability, and 10 percent of aspects not applicable to the microenterprise. In addition, to evaluate the impact of the GMP training program, microbiological analyses were carried out before and after implementation, which showed a significant improvement after the acquisition of knowledge. At the same time, Standard Operating Procedures and Sanitation Operating Procedures were developed and adapted to the specific needs of the microenterprise, covering everything from the reception of raw materials to the dispatch of the finished product. Based on the findings, an action plan was formulated with corrective measures to address nonconformities and propose process improvements. Finally, all this information was consolidated in the GMP manual, a document that complies with the requirements of the microenterprise and current regulations, with the firm purpose of ensuring the safety of its products.
