Abstract

The fishing industry began to be regulated with fishing quotas in 2008, defining an anchovy catch limit for each company, forcing the sector to operate optimally from capturing the anchovy and taking care of its processing. Among the activities is transporting the anchovy from the ship to the factory, ensuring that the anchovy is not damaged so that the transformation into the fishmeal is more profitable and a better quality The Six Sigma methodology will allow for diagnosing and analyzing the improvement opportunities, implementing and controlling them to be sustainable over time. The business analytics will allow the definition of the control plans for the selected variables with the Six Sigma methodology and, with the help of both ways of working, define Poka yokes in the process. We get an improvement of 0.5 in the sigma level, equivalent to a profit of $2.5 per ton.
