Quality management, Agribusiness, Continuous improvementAbstract
This study aimed to analyze the application of quality management methodologies in the context of agribusiness and was guided by the following research question: which quality management tools are addressed in the scientific literature and what effects are reported regarding their implementation in production operations? To this end, an integrative literature review was conducted, analyzing studies that investigate the use of process improvement instruments in agro-industrial chains. The results indicate that methodologies such as the PDCA cycle, Lean Manufacturing principles, statistical process control techniques, and food safety systems have been employed to organize production routines, reduce waste, and improve operational performance. The findings suggest that the most consistent results occur when different methodologies are applied in an integrated manner, combining continuous improvement practices and operational monitoring.
