Aplicação das ferramentas de qualidade BPF e 5S: estudo de caso na Cooperativa Regional dos Vitivinicultores do Sudoeste do Paraná

Abstract

The aim of this work was to implement GMP and 5S quality control tools in a Francisco Beltrão cooperative that produces whole grape juice. This work was carried out by means of a case study, which identified the areas wherein these tools were lacking. In this way, a planning of improvements was elaborated, which, with the company's approval, could be executed. In the scope of GMP, a training for the collaborators was carried out, as well as the confection of the orientation plates that are now arranged throughout the cooperative built area. The GMP Manual was also updated, which is a fundamental document within a food company. Control sheets were implanted in the equipment, trying to have a follow-up of them during the production process. In the 5S aspect, this work elaborated changes in the layout of the cooperative, mainly in the bottle storage part, using a scheme for the floor demarcations. It became evident the importance that the change coming from the basic quality control tools had in this industry. Taking into consideration the size and particular characteristics presented, it was possible to improve the production process, as well as the safety and well-being of the collaborators.
