The banana plantation worker, as the main actor in a manufacturing process that provides 35% of agricultural produce in the
country, has been relegated to a working field in spaces conditioned only for productive processes, leaving aside the possibility of
designing working environments that consider vital aspects in their workplace, such as the correct dispositions of working planes,
visual ergonomics and hygrothermal comfort, factors that affect the well-being, health, and productivity of individuals. The
Urabá zone, located in the department of Antioquia, produced, according to data provided by AUGURA, 73% of national banana
exports during 2013, positioning itself as the biggest banana zone in the country, which is a relevant condition for the
development of this research, which starts with the architectural survey, spatial, functional and working conditions of a banana
packing plant (BPP) in the municipality of Apartadó, from which analysis benchmarks of the conditions of the banana production
process are established, and fundamental aspects for an optimized rehabilitation plan of BPP´s are identified. The theoretical
framework of the research considers the analysis of the environmental conditions in a warm humid climate, workspace and
process occupation areas assessment, studyof human factors associated with the stations’ operation, and analysis of ergonomic
and dynamic anthropometric conditions. The result of this research is a series of rehabilitation guidelines for BPP´s,which
influence in the quality of working environments and the productivity of the process.Relevant aspects obtained from this
research, will be discussed with the banana producing factories and export companies and those could be projected on production
business models, from the architecture, human factors and ergonomic´s
