Abstract

To design and develop an implementation plan of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the Pastificio Chimborazo Company located in Velasco parish, Riobamba canton, Chimborazo province. The study began with the diagnosis of the company with a verification guide in accordance with the regulations of Good Manufacturing Practices for processed foods, in force in Ecuador, applying the necessary corrective actions in the area(s) of the company, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Standard Operating Procedures for Sanitation (SOP) were developed for each area. As a result, 76.9% of the storage, distribution, transportation and commercialization area complies with the requirements of the standard, while the quality assurance and control area has a non-compliance rate of 89% and the personnel area has a non-compliance rate of 60%. After the implementation of the Good Manufacturing Practices program, it was found that the percentage of compliance increased from 43% to 73%, which is a significant increase, while partial compliance was reduced from 20% to 15% and noncompliance decreased from 37% to 12%, so there is a significant overall improvement in the company's compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices. It is recommended that the Good Manufacturing Practices plan resulting from this work be consolidated and that long-term corrective measures be implemented to ensure the sustainability of the improvement achieved in the company.
