Proposed action plan for information management in agri-food companies

Abstract

Information management stands as a strategic resource for competitiveness and efficiency in the modern industrial sector. Companies and organizations that invest in adequate information management are better positioned to face future challenges and seize emerging opportunities. This research aims to design an action plan to optimize information management in a agri-food industry company. A case study was developed through the application of surveys, direct observation of processes, and analysis of internal documentation, allowing for a comprehensive diagnosis of the state of information flows. The diagnosis identified a lack of standardization in data handling and failures in internal communication as critical deficiencies, which hinder interdepartmental collaboration. As a main contribution, a structured action plan was proposed, including the establishment of policies, the implementation of technological tools, and a training program. It is concluded that the application of the plan establishes the foundation for improving decision-making and the organization's operational efficiency, positioning it better to face environmental challenges.
