In addition, the time in establishing the mechanics and necessary procedures was used to establish the norms. For this research, the operational data of time and production of operators and machinery and their investment for each production batch in the artisanal process of the company was used. Since there were no parametric variables, this research did not report an experimental design. It was based on data collection, data selection and proposal of solutions for the company. The experimental work allowed determining that in the normal operation of the plant 124.80 kg of plantain are processed daily, which are acquired from local producers and after each of the stages in the production process, 85.00 kg of snacks are obtained, which are distributed and sold in different points of the city of Macas. It is concluded that production yields a quantity of waste equal to 39.80 kg. The energy expenditure of the plant is equal to 242.93 kJ per day, so it is recommended to use the proposed process manual.
