Faced with such problems, the need to implement an improvement plan is evident, for which this study used the 5S Methodology, since it is a methodology that can be adapted to any company or specific area, the purpose is to increase productivity through the incorporating activities that help organize the organization effectively. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to design an improvement plan for the liquor production process at the "Alcívar" plant in the La Mocorita community of the Junín canton. The methodology was based on a quantitative-qualitative scheme, under the inductive method, using observation, survey and interview as information collection techniques, together, a check list was used to know the initial level of the 5s methodology. The survey was applied to 8 workers and the interview to the plant manager. As a main result, it was obtained that the workers do not have a cleaning schedule, the tools are messy, inadequate distribution of the spaces and the personnel does not use a uniform or personal protective equipment. Faced with all these problems, the 5s methodology is proposed as a solution strategy and improvement of the production process of liquor in the Alcívar plant.
