Considering the increasing demand for high quality products due to global competition or even for higher consumer demand, the consumer goods industries have been facing a massive challenge towards the production of items that meet the consumer expectations. Based on this idea, the Quality sectors of industries and corporations have been expanding for the last decades. In the same context, the competitive tobacco industry has, within its complex production chain of operations, a considerable number of quality parameters and indicators. Pest management highlights among them – covering not just the product integrity and quality assurance but also the occupational health of the working environment. Influenced by climate and operational factors, the tobacco beetle is today the biggest challenge for the Brazilian tobacco industry regarding pest control. Its impact on the final product is unquestionable, causing cigarette visual impact and sensorial variations, affecting consumer satisfaction. This paper has the objective of being a guide to tobacco industry pest control by revising tobacco beetle information, its main consequences, impacts and control methods. Furthermore, data from one cigarette factory was collected throughout 2017 to identify its occurrence in different internal sectors, revealing proliferation critical areas. Based on the gathered data and process analysis methodologies, main causes and factors which culminated on the exposed results were determined. Last, but not least, the main countermeasures and action plans to be executed in cigarette factors, in order to manage the incidence of tobacco beetle, were listed. That way it is possible to minimize its occurrence as it has a negative impact on the manufactured product.
