This article addresses the application of quality tools to identify opportunities in the transversal sealing system in the packaging process, to detect and eliminate them through a 5W2H action plan. With the analysis made through the Ishikawa diagram, 5 W’s to identify the root cause of the loss of efficiency due to a small stop of error in the sealing, which resulted in a 75% reduction of stops by inserting the insert. The implementation of the actions was carried out through the PDCA.
