Abstract

This work focused on developing a Good Manufacturing Practices Manual (GMP) in the microenterprise DESTYLAB located in the city of Ambato, dedicated to the manufacture of an alcoholic beverage, aguardiente, with the objective of establishing procedures and parameters for compliance with quality, safety and food safety in the production line. An initial diagnosis of the microenterprise was made by means of a checklist with eight established chapters, where three levels were applied for the evaluation: Complies, Does not comply and Does not apply. In the initial evaluation, 58.15 percent was non-compliant, 27.17 percent was non-compliant and 14.67 percent was non-applicable to the microenterprise. The manual contains SOPs and SSOPs, which were established according to the microenterprise's needs and taking into account all the activities carried out in the areas and production lines to ensure quality assurance and safety. The action plan was developed based on the nonconformities found in the microenterprise, through the ARCSA 067-2015 regulations to issue necessary corrective actions. The report will allow the microenterprise manager to prioritize improvement initiatives for the implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices.
