    This study focused on analyzing the production processes of the Carlosama Dairy Products microenterprise (PROLACAR) and their influence on the hygienic-sanitary quality of the products. The evaluation was based on compliance with resolution ARCSA-DE-2022-016-AKRG on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and the microbiological requirements for processed products. On-site visits revealed significant deficiencies in operational processes, with a compliance rate of 42.92 percent. Microbiological analyses showed non-compliance with the standard for fresh cheese, while semi-cured cheese did comply with the standard. To address these deficiencies, a corrective action plan was proposed to suggest improvements to rectify the nonconformities identified, with a budget of 15,715.00 dollars and two years for implementation. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs) were developed. A plant redesign was suggested to optimize the process flow and minimize contamination risks. In addition, a training plan was developed to strengthen personnel's knowledge of production processes and the proper handling of regulatory documentation. The implementation of these strategies increased compliance to 58.34 percent, reducing contamination risks and ensuring a high level of compliance.
