Implementation through tools help various areas of the organization. Although conceptually disseminated and applied in various sectors of the economy, publications in the agribusiness sector are scarce.

Through the use of lean tools, such as a flowchart, Ishikawa diagrams, value stream mapping, and the PDCA cycle, it was possible to guide a set of improvements in the property under study, adding profitability gains.
