Abstract

The objective of this degree work, development of a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) manual for the microenterprise "Monte Verde", is to prevent and reduce dangers related to the safety of dairy products. To achieve this, a diagnosis of the current situation of the microenterprise was carried out through the verification guide, prepared based on what is established by ARCSA – 016 – 2022 – AKRG, which consists of 211 items divided into twelve chapters. Likewise, microbiological analyses were carried out on the products and the water that enters the microenterprise to determine their sanitary conditions. From this diagnosis, the level of compliance, non-compliance and non-compliance of the establishment was determined to determine measures to correct the non-conformities. Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) and Sanitation Procedures (SOP) were developed from the receipt of raw materials to the marketing of the final product. The manual establishes the minimum necessary requirements that any entity dedicated to the production must meet, an action plan that consists of training for staff, cleaning records and corrective actions in case of non-compliance. The GMP manual for the "Monte Verde" microenterprise was prepared with the objective of improving the quality management system of the plant, ensuring the safety and quality of the product for human consumption. Its implementation will allow the microenterprise to comply with quality standards, increase consumer confidence and satisfaction, to improve the competitive position of the microenterprise in the market.
