Abstract

The company "CORPORACIÓN ESCACAO" has the purpose of obtaining the certification in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), in this sense, the present work of investigation had as objective the development of a model for the implementation of the GMP certification under the Resolution of the ARCSA 067:2015. The development of the company's management model was based on a baseline survey of the initial conditions of the establishment. Through a check list, the percentage of compliance based on the Technical Sanitary Regulations for Processed Foods under ARCSA Resolution 067:2015 was verified. The evaluation was carried out designating three categories "Not compliant", "Partially compliant" or "Satisfactory compliant" with rating values of 0, 1, 2 or N.A. The results of the initial conditions according to the eight chapters of the current regulations were in the "Satisfactory" category of 60 percent. Subsequently, a plan of corrective actions and improvements based on the non-conformities found was designed and implemented. Models were developed to collect the necessary documentation for compliance with the management model (procedures, records, instructions, manuals, schedules). Likewise, the Standardized Operational Procedures of Sanitization (SOPS) and Standardized Operational Procedures (SOP) that must be applied were established. Finally, an analysis of compliance with GMP indicators was carried out once corrective actions were applied in the production process. The final check list showed 96.85 percent compliance.
