Resumo:
The inadequate disposal of a large part of the solid waste generated in Brazil is a
worrying reality that brings to the debate the need for greater effectiveness of the
National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS). In view of the corporate responsibility to develop
sustainable routines in compliance with the objectives of the PNRS, this study shows the
application of the 5s management tool in a dairy agro-industry in the hinterland of
Paraíba in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the application of the senses of use
, ordering, cleanliness, health and discipline for an economically sustainable
development. For this purpose, the case study method was used with a qualitative
exploratory-descriptive approach. A diagnosis of the initial situation of the agro-industry
object of the research was carried out from the analysis of the environmental aspects of
its production stages, through which it was possible to identify the inadequate disposal of
the emitted serum, in addition to other factors that hindered the general functioning of the
company. company and affected its finances. With the result of the diagnosis, it was
possible to compare the before and after the application of the 5s management tool and
the accounting of the income earned with the reuse of whey as animal feed. In addition to
developing a sustainability policy, it was possible to improve the company's operational
development with simple and low-cost changes, which confirms the 5s management tool
as suitable for the implementation of the PNRS.
