CASTELL CATALA, Ariel  e  DE LA NUEZ HERNANDEZ, Diana. Diagnosis of the "quality" subsystem in the Basic Unit of Cooperative Production "Julián Alemán". Coodes [online]. 2021, vol.9, n.2, pp.689-711.  Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 2310-340X.

The present research was developed in the Basic Unit of Cooperative Production "Julián Alemán", in the municipality of Consolación del Sur in the province of Pinar del Río, an entity noted for its economic and social results in recent years; however, the predominant management approach does not contribute to the adoption of quality as a general management function, which allowed to deepen the research problem addressed here. The objective of this article was to present the results of the diagnosis of quality as a management subsystem, which constitutes a starting point on the road to improving this function in the cooperative. In order to solve the problems identified, the historical-logical method was used to analyze the evolution of quality in the agro livestock sector; the analysis-synthesis, which allowed revealing the essential relationships and more general characteristics of quality, leadership and people's commitment. Among the research techniques used were interviews, surveys, checklists and documentary analysis. The main results of the diagnosis were the predominance of an approach to quality that privileges inspection with a tendency towards control in the production process, which contributed to reach conclusions, among which stand out the inadequate administration of resources, as well as the lack of integration between functional and business areas, which has a negative impact on the efficacy and effectiveness of cooperative management in general.
