The food company "Frituritas de Don Miguel" in its effort to guarantee the quality and hygiene of the products produced and marketed by the company, and comply with current legislation in the country, specifically with the resolution set in the Official Gazette No. 839, considered relevant and appropriate to design a system of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) through this degree work.

Thus, it initiated with a diagnosis of the current situation in the company about the accomplishment of GMP, using a checklist, whose items were prepared based on the Regulation of GMP for Processed Foods and the Guideline of GMP Verification of the Pan American Health Organization; determining that the Company had a fulfillment rate of 47.30%.

In order to ensure the quality and safety of the products manufactured by the company; the manual of Good Manufacturing Practices was developed, in which the guidelines to enforce, monitor and record are determined. In addition to this manual, the Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were developed; based on national and international standards and codes relating to food hygiene. As a complement, we have developed an economic analysis concerning the estimated value of the costs of implementing this technical proposal.
