Ecuadorian shrimp companies must comply with quality management systems and have certifications that guarantee a product with national and international standards, which leads to improving their work environments. Therefore, the aim is to propose improvements applying the 5s methodology (organization, order, cleaning, standardization, and discipline, by its original name in Japanese) for the classification and packaging area of a shrimp company. The investigation had a quantitative approach based on the survey of information in situ with the evaluation of the proposed criteria. It was determined that the current level of compliance with the 5S is 29%, therefore actions for improvement are proposed; based on the commitment of the partners to ensure success.

Palabras clave : productivity; process improvement; organization; work environment; quality.
