Item Modelo de programación lineal para la optimización de fórmulas de mezclas alimenticias en la industria Sweet Kiss(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería en Sistemas, Electrónica e Industrial. Maestría en Química, 2024) Chipantiza Quinatoa, Hernán Patricio; Naranjo Chiriboga, Israel ErnestoIn the present research, a linear programming model was developed for the optimization of the formulas of food mixtures in the Sweet Kiss industry. To address this challenge, a detailed diagnosis of the formulation process in the company was carried out, identifying the main restrictions and areas for improvement. Subsequently, a mathematical model was formulated using linear programming, which integrates key variables such as raw material costs, available ingredient restrictions such as maximum and minimum limits. The proposed model allowed optimizing the allocation of resources in the production of food mixes, increasing profitability and guaranteeing the nutritional quality of the final products. The solution of the model was compared with the traditional process used in Sweet Kiss, obtaining as a result an optimization in profit, giving a value of $1,525.95 when producing more than the demand. The results obtained using the Excel SOLVER tool showed that the implementation of the linear programming model not only contributed to the immediate optimization of the food mixes, but also laid the foundations for continuous improvement in the production process, by allowing the company to make decisions in the face of changes in input costs or market requirements. The proposed tool is positioned as a valuable resource for the food industry, enabling it to improve its competitiveness and long-term sustainability
