Abstract

Nowadays, quality management is essential for companies aiming to position themselves competitively in the market. Various proven tools and methodologies, such as 5S, 5W2H, the 5 Whys, among others, are used for this purpose. This work aims to implement the 5S methodology in a wheat mill, with the goal of increasing productivity and reducing non-conformities. Initially, audits were conducted to assess the company's current situation. Subsequently, a brochure and training sessions were developed to raise awareness and teach the methodology to employees. The impact of the training was evaluated in three ways: first, the audit report scores increased from 45.38% to 65.35%; next, there was a noticeable increase in productivity; and finally, 60% of the participants demonstrated a high understanding of the methodology after the training. In conclusion, the implementation of 5S in the wheat mill had a positive and promising outcome.
