The study population consists of 230 professionals with research category. Selected variables: researchers categorized by year, profession and scientific categories. The process of scientific ranks appointments was assessed byanalyzing weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities. A strategy was carried out supported by objectives, actions and measuring criteria; the strategy was implemented and evaluated by comparing results of the year 2019 with those of the 2015-2018 period. Results: the highest percentage of researchers with categories corresponded to medical professionals and secondary care institutions. There were difficulties detected in the process performance. Actions were focused on the identification of professionals, integration with doctoral training and the dissemination of scientific information. There were documented improvement areas in the highest ranks as well asfutureissues to work on. Conclusions: the identification of inadequacies in the university research categorization process was a starting point to strategically project actions and implement them to reverse this situation, based on process improvement processand hence, it allowed the validation of its relevance under a necessary continuous improvement approach in Science and Technological Innovation System of Matanzas University of Medical Sciences.
