The Value Stream Mapping methodology has become a fundamental tool for managers due to its ability to diagnose business processes, where activities that do not add value are identified and improvement alternatives based on different Lean Manufacturing techniques are proposed. In this article, the Value Stream Mapping tool is applied in the harvesting and postharvest processes of a company that is dedicated to the cultivation and sale of pineapple for the national and international market. At the end of the investigation, waste is identified within the process, such as excessive handling, lack of training for personnel and the absence of efficient machinery maintenance plans. From these weaknesses, it is possible to define an action plan for the company, which is simulated using the Flexsim software, where the “before” and “after” scenarios of the operation are contrasted in order to illustrate to the managers, the potential benefits of the implementation of the improvement proposals, where it is possible to establish a reduction in cycle time by approximately 19%, which allows increasing production volumes and meeting the demand of the end customer.
