    This study focused on analyzing the production processes of the dairy microenterprise Flor del Campo and its impact on the hygienic-sanitary conditions of the final product to find significant deficiencies and propose recommendations and strategies to remedy these gaps. To achieve this purpose, an exhaustive evaluation of the current situation of the microenterprise was carried out from the production and processes areas and by carrying out a verification checklist based on the resolution ARCSA-DE-2022-016-AKRG. Flowcharts were presented according to the currently used processes and a two-dimensional plan of the current distribution of the microenterprise. Consequently, after the diagnosis of the current situation of the plant, it was found that the compliance percentage was 41 percent, non-compliance 45 percent and non-applicable 14 percent. Microbiological analyses were performed for the final product and for living and inert surfaces to determine the hygienic-sanitary conditions of the facilities and products offered by the microenterprise. An improvement plan was developed based on cause-effect analysis, seeking to correct non-conformities, and proposing improvement actions. New flowcharts for the optimized process of cheese production and a new plan for relocation of areas are also proposed. Finally, a training plan was developed for staff that focused on Good Manufacturing Practices and personal hygiene, among others, to guarantee the quality and safety of processed foods for human consumption.
