Abstract

The present research was oriented towards the development of a Manual of Good Manufacturing Practices for the Manabean microenterprise located in the Tumbaco parish belonging to the Quito canton, where an evaluation of the current situation was initially carried out based on a checklist according to the sanitary technical standard of ARCSA 067:2015. Three levels of evaluation were used, Complies, when the requirements are executed, Does not comply, when it does not comply with what is established and Does not apply, when the requirement is not consistent with the activities of the microenterprise. In this initial evaluation, 3130 percent was obtained for Compliance with the BPM, 49,53 percent for Does not comply and 19.16 percent for Does not apply. Subsequently, the corrective actions were established to solve the non-conformities found, the same ones that were classified into short, medium and long term actions, likewise the information analysis was carried out for the creation of the procedures and programs required by the BPM handbook. Depending on the resources available to the microenterprise, short term actions were considered to be implemented. Once the short term actions were implemented, a final diagnosis was made to the microenterprise again with a new checklist, and a general compliance percentage of 63.08 percent was obtained, because the procedures established in the manual were used.
