SIGAS Model

Certification, Meat Segment

Agrosuper’s Integrated Management System (SIGAS) is a proprietary system based on national and international standards. This system integrates and upgrades with other methodologies we have implemented, such as OPI (Optimization of Industrial Processes). This allows us to work across all business units, aiming at a global view of quality, in which each individual is aware of his/her responsibilities in the process and in the result. As a result, the system meets and promotes the needs and expectations of our stakeholders (such as clients, consumers, authorities, neighbors, employees, suppliers, contractors, etc.). The system also allows for the early detection of areas for improvement.
