organization has some problems that are affecting in a relevant way in the
production area. In order to determine and demonstrate the problems
of this company, the fishbone tool was used, which resulted in a decrease
in productivity in the production line and it was also found that the
processes are not standardized in addition to the lack of commitment on
the part of workers. All these problems found will lead to a bad quality
system both in the product and in the service (Cosavalente et al., 2019,
p. 14).
The application of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle to reduce defects in the
manufacturing industry, in which the aim is to reduce as many defects as possible, the
PHVA cycle was applied and two types of diagrams: Pareto and Flow, were used in order
to diagnose the situation and therefore find as many defects as possible in the process.
Likewise, the Pareto diagram was used to recognize the defects in some product models
so that finally the standardization could be carried out with the appropriate
improvements. This whole process led to a more optimal product quality (Vásquez-
Vargas et al., 2018, p-23).
On the other hand, Grados and Obregón with their research in Lima, Peru, in which
the 5'S methodology was applied in the warehouse in order to obtain a culture of
standardization in the processes and thus avoid customer complaints. After applying
the Deming cycle, it was possible to observe an improvement in the reduction of
complaints by determining productivity, effectiveness and efficiency through a time
study (2018, p. 24).
In the same way, it is of vital importance to be able to base this research in a theoretical
way, for this we must begin to know the concept of quality where it is stated that
quality is defined as certain characteristics of a good or service obtained in the
production process that will satisfy the needs and/or requirements of the customer.
Also, it must exceed customer expectations, this is achieved with quality management
which is described as the relationship between quality improvement and user
management in order to meet the demand, it is too much to say that this management
encompasses the entire organization (Ladewski & Al-Bayati, 2019, p. 15).
The implementation of continuous improvement is done by quality control through
some stages such as: Deming's circle, plan, check act among others; with this it will be
possible to determine the improvement procedures starting with the evaluation which
allowed to assume a process approach which will be analyzed with the different quality
tools, (Schniepp, 2019) indicates that currently two types of quality tools prevail such
as: quality improvement tools and quality control tools. Both are used to establish
causes and/or drawbacks in order to find solutions. The quality control tools are made
up of: Ishikawa diagrams, data collection sheet, control charts, Pareto diagram,
stratification and finally the scatter diagrams however the quality improvement tools,
which are used when there is no specific information of the problem. These tools are
