Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a Good Manufacturing Practices Manual for the microenterprise Embutidos Artesanales Llapin, located in the Celiano Monge parish of the Ambato canton. The objective is to provide a micro-enterprise with the tools needed to obtain GMP certification in the future. A diagnosis of the current state of the microenterprise was carried out by means of a verification guide consisting of 200 items and three levels of scale: compliant when the requirements are under the regulations, Not Compliant when they do not conform to the requirements, and Not Applicable when it is not relevant to the establishment's activities, due to the nature of the product and processes. This analysis revealed compliance rates of 28 percent, 61 percent, and 11 percent for compliance, non-compliance, and non-applicability, respectively. Subsequently, Standard Operating and Sanitation Procedures were developed based on the nonconformities and requirements identified in the microenterprise in accordance with resolution ARCSA - DE - 2022 - 016 - AKGR. These procedures are aligned with the processes and production of the establishment, ensuring products are in optimal hygienic and sanitary conditions, as well as high quality and safety for the consumer. Finally, the action plan was designed according to the necessary corrective actions, adjusting to the suggested short-term budget, to address the establishment's nonconformities and achieve the necessary conditions for Good Manufacturing Practices certification by the regulatory agency ARCSA.
