Proposal of a production management model for small tanneries applying good manufacturing practices

Abstract

The small tanneries in Arequipa are traditional companies tending to disappear due to environmental and competition problems. In order to survive, they need to become more technical and apply models that allow production within the environmental standards required by government agencies and a better application of their resources to make their production profitable and be competent. The proposed management model applying Good Manufacturing Practices allows to systematize the control of processes and their continuous improvement, without representative costs that may be within the reach of a small tannery. With its implementation it will be possible to identify and reduce the waste of resources and the consumption of inputs.
