Resumen

Burger Truck, a fast food company seeks to optimize the efficiency in order preparation times to compete successfully against rivals that offer shorter times. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate that the efficient application of Layout Design will reduce burger preparation times, strengthening competitiveness. Initial data showed that preparing a hamburger took an average time of 10 minutes and 14 seconds. The results show that the redistribution of equipment in the kitchen improved productivity by 21%, reducing hamburger preparation time by 2 minutes to 08 minutes and 04 seconds. The economic results show the following: TMAR 1.53%, NPV $2, 817.30, IRR 12.09%, B/C 3.47, NPV Profits $3, 956.76, and NPV Expenses $1, 214.99. It is concluded that adopting this solution guarantees an increase in productivity in fast food sectors with a mobile concept. This study provides a clear direction for organizations in the same industry that are looking to thrive in a dynamic and challenging environment since the replicability of these results is considered relevant.
