ABSTRACT
In the dairy plant “ Seis de Enero”, located in the pre parish Las Mercedes in the
province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Process Diagrams were
implemented in order to reduce unnecessary time and optimize physical resources
and human talent to increase productivity; Physical-Chemical analyses for raw
milk and yogurt were carried out, taking into account serial samples before and 30
days respectively after, times were taken from the reception of milk to packaging
of yogurt before and after the proposal implementation. On physic- chemical
analysis of yogurt, and improvement in the acidity present values 0.666 and
1.019% respectively. The time in the processes were significantly reduced in the
following stages: in the incubate 61.6 min, cooled 790.8 min, resulting in a
reduction of time in the whole process of 908.6 minutes; productivity increased
from 61.43 liters / day per laborer to 71.43 liters / day. It is recommended to use
the Process Diagrams, maintain a constant training and broadcast the results to
obtain significant savings in processing times, lower cost of production and
therefore it rising economic profitability and improving productivity.
