The design of food processing plants required a detailed analysis of critical location and infrastructure factors to optimize operational efficiency and ensure the quality of the final product. In this study, we developed a design model for an industrial plant dedicated to the production of pineapple jam (Ananas comosus), in compliance with the Colombian sanitary standards established by Resolution 2674 of 2013. We conducted a location analysis based on selected criteria, which were evaluated using weighted factors. Based on this evaluation, we selected the city of Villavicencio, in the department of Meta, as the optimal location due to its proximity to major pineapple production centers and its strong connectivity to potential markets. We structured the plant design using the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) methodology, employing relationship diagrams by area, digital layout modeling in AutoCAD, and 3D design in SketchUp, integrating an efficient distribution based on agro-industrial engineering principles. The design aimed to optimize workflow at each stage of the process to reduce production time and minimize contamination risks. Additionally, we incorporated ergonomic and regulatory criteria to ensure worker safety and product quality. This study contributed to the development of sustainable agro-industrial infrastructure and enhanced the value of pineapple as a strategic crop in the region, offering a replicable methodology for similar projects in the food industry.
