Manual de diseño y aplicación del sistema señalético para la planta de Skretting Ecuador

Abstract

In the present project, the objective was the development and implementation of a standardized industrial signage manual for Skretting Ecuador, with the purpose of improving safety, organization, and the efficiency of the company’s internal processes. The proposal originated from the detection of multiple visual inconsistencies, material deterioration, and the absence of a unified manual that regulates the use of signs under national and international standards, which affects visual communication and the company’s safety culture. A qualitative methodology was applied, based on direct observation, case analysis, documentary review, and direct interviews with plant personnel. Standards such as ISO 7010 and INEN were collected and evaluated, as well as other signage manuals from local and international organizations. As a result, a modular and adaptable signage system was designed for the different spaces within the plant, accompanied by a normative manual that ensures visual coherence for the future.
