Abstract
You rarely see the interest that is given to companies that have the agro-industrial sector as their commercial and economic activity, leaving aside the economic impact that it could have on the country. In this document we intend to talk about the banana companies of the agro-industrial sector located in the city of Milagro and its surrounding areas, and what are the challenges they face and their main problems that as a company they face mainly as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. 19 that hit the country in the past year 2020. The objective of this research was to analyze the productivity of the production processes of the banana packing plant through the application of ISO 9001 regulations and standards of safety and export accreditation of the RAS fruit (Sustainable Rainforest Alliance), for this we apply engineering techniques and tools to identify the problems faced by these companies (flow diagrams, PESPC diagrams, operations diagrams, among others). As a result, the problem faced by companies in the banana sector was shown when applying Ishikawa diagram tools, Pareto Principle, Operations Flow Diagram and problem tree. It was proposed to improve the operations of the packaging process to reduce unnecessary tasks and activities, optimizing time in the packing plant and thus increase productivity within the company. It was recommended to apply control sheets, technical sheets based on the 9001 standard and to train field, harvest and packing personnel.
