    The present research is linked to industrial environment, aiming to raise awareness among the workplace or organization owner about tools use applied at Deming cycle (PDCA). Due to lack knowledge about the application of a continuous improvement system, the company procedures, as well as product quality, were negatively affected, leading to economic losses, staff layoffs, and issues with the final consumer. By applying the PDCA methodology through an internal control system, it was possible to improve the production processes at “Avícola Mishell.” Using a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach, techniques such as observation were employed to collect information directly on-site to assess the current state of the poultry production processes, identifying a process improvement in poultry feeding. Additionally, the level of prioritization given by employees to 14 principles of Deming was measured, revealing five principles needing improvement: Principle 8 at 78%, Principle 10 at 77%, Principle 3 and Principle 13 at 70%, and Principle 12 at 68%. A tailored improvement plan was proposed within a pre-established budget, including a start and end schedule for activities, aiming to increase productivity, with results showing a 7% increase in the third week and an 8% increase in the fourth week of June and July.
