O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar uma proposta para estruturação da gestão da melhoria contínua em uma empresa brasileira fabricante de bebidas. As práticas de melhoria contínua na empresa, implementadas de forma não articulada aos objetivos do negócio e informal, inviabilizando a sua sustentação a longo prazo, somados à conceituação de que não existem modelos de gestão da melhoria contínua prontos para implementação nas empresas, pois os modelos devem ser adaptados às circunstâncias e necessidades de cada empresa, motivaram o desenvolvimento da proposta. O trabalho foi conduzido utilizando-se o método de pesquisa-ação, pois busca elaborar uma proposta baseada em problemas reais e com ampla participação na busca da solução, por meio de interação entre pesquisador e membros da empresa. A revisão bibliográfica permitiu identificar alguns modelos para gerenciamento das atividades de melhoria contínua, sendo que cabe às empresas identificarem o modelo mais adequado a suas necessidades e especificidades. A revisão bibliográfica e o diagnóstico realizado na empresa, por meio da pesquisa-ação, permitiram a formulação do problema organizacional e o desenvolvimento de uma proposta para estruturação da gestão da melhoria contínua alinhada aos objetivos estratégicos e às especificidades da empresa. Também foram elaboradas recomendações para implantação da proposta.
