Abstract
Covid-19 epidemic has harmed the global economy. Particularly, the restaurant sector has been severely impacted by the rapid spread of the virus. The use of digital technology (DT) has been utilized to execute risk-reduction methods as service innovation tools. In this work, a genetic algorithm optimization is used to cope with the problems caused by the restrictions due to Covid-19 to optimize the management of the spaces in commercial and industrial structures. The approach through the GA involves the selection of the best members of a population that change genome based on the epochs. The digitization of a commercial or industrial environment becomes an optimal methodology for carrying out virtual design of work environments. Digitization thus becomes a strategy for the reduction of both monetary and time cost. Focusing on the case study, satisfactory results emerge supported by tests that reveal an appreciable robustness and open new scenarios for different applications of the methodology developed in this work, always in the context of optimal management of industrial and commercial spaces.
