AB  - In continuous processes, variability represents a significant challenge in achieving adequate performance, as standardization uncovers previously hidden profits at each stage. This article addresses the identification of an instability problem in the sedimentation process in the syrup treatment sector of a sugarcane energy plant. This problem compromises the quality of the final product and exceeds the established targets for input consumption, leading to the implementation of an automatically operated equipment to solve it. The objective of the proposal is to reduce process instability and, consequently, achieve input savings. To accomplish this, two quality tools were used, such as the Ishikawa Diagram, to identify the root cause, and the PDCA cycle, for the clear, effective, and efficient application of the new equipment. This project resulted in numerous benefits, as the achievement of stability promoted increased standardization in processes, including product specification and operations. Therefore, it can be concluded that this work had a positive impact on other sectors, such as finance, due to savings in product dosage, and logistics, due to two factors: the creation of a consumption pattern that facilitates predicting the appropriate time to acquire each input and the reduction of inventory movement resulting from a stable quality process.
