The purpose of the study is to identify the functional areas of banana companies that present problems, through bibliographic review and case analysis, for the development of empowering strategies that influence the efficiency of production processes and product quality.

Among the most relevant findings is the influence of continuous improvement in the quality of the product, a determining factor in the purchase decision process, with the main focus on the production of the fruit, whose process involves the selection of the seed, until the delivery of the final product, in order to make available to the customer a highly competitive product and developed under quality standards. The activities of the continuous improvement plan are synthesized in a matrix with their respective activities, indicator, time and others.
