tarting from the Kaizen approach which aims at continuous improvement, the study synthesizes the information regarding the classification, identification and reporting of defects and all types of non-compliance encountered during the manufacturing process in the food industry, particularizing on a water bottling process. Starting from an optimized logistic system model within the organization, the article deals with the non-conformities on the material and informational flow system, or for technological equipment (machines, equipment and installations). A chi-square test was performed to evaluate the occurrence of defects in different equipment of the technological process. The study is a tool to keep under control the problems that appear and can be constituted in a standard or an internal procedure of the company applicable when a non-compliance is identified.
