Abstract: Nowadays, the implementation of methods engineering is fundamental, as it allows the identification of unnecessary processes and the design of new methods that make better use of resources. Therefore, a method engineering model is proposed to improve the productivity of exporting companies in Cañete. The research is applied, with a quantitative approach and experimental design. A questionnaire addressed to 389 employees was used with regard to the methods engineering variable and the productivity variable. The results show that 44.73% of the employees state that the level of methods engineering is poor, 48.59% state that the level of time engineering is poor and 52.96% state that the level of production is poor. These results reflect that a method engineering model should be proposed to promote process innovation with a sustainable production approach that increases resource efficiency.
