The methodology used to prepare this improvement plan is the so-called 5s: SEIRI, SEITON, SEISO, SEIKETSU and SHITSUKE, (classification, order, cleanliness, standardization and discipline) through a first evaluation that will allow us to measure the level of productivity they have, to then apply the improvement plan and demonstrate through a second evaluation the percentage of improvement achieved. As conclusions, it was obtained that the shrimp activity is one of the strongest pillars of the Ecuadorian economy, the shrimp market being competitive requires that its improvement processes be aimed at delivering a quality product and the company under study went from having 65% productivity to 86% applying the improvement plan.
