The objective of this study was to develop a procedure to determine if the production of D-xylose and glucose from bagasse, is an opportunity for business in the Cuban sugar industry. We designed a Heuristic Diagram for the evaluation of the proposed objective, where we included management tools development, complex analysis of processes, mass and energy balances, criteria: technical, environmental, economic, social and risk factors. Used software: SuperPro Designer® 9.0, Statgraphics Centurion XVI and KeyWordSpy. It was concluded that applied methodological procedure was suitable for assessing the business proposal; where the production of d-Xylose and glucose using waste presented viable economic and technical indicators for the sugar industry.
