Abstract

Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) is a term that means “Despesas de Capital” and is understood as the investments that are made for the acquisition or improvement of equipment and facilities within an organization. Thus, in a company, there is a capital investment budget that must be applied to ensure production and guarantee its operation. Because of this, the present study was developed to present the management of the CAPEX Life Time Extension Electrical and Automation Project 2023 (LTE E&A 2023), which aims to extend the life cycle of critical asset components of an industry of animal nutritional supplements, located in the Industrial and Port Complex of Pecém, in the state of Ceará. The methodology used in this study followed the practices of the asset management guideline of the organization in question called Manufacturing Excellence (Manufex), which has as its reference the tools recommended by the manual of good project management practices called Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The scope of LTE E&A 2023 refers to the replacement of critical electrical components of the plant's Pneumatic Transport System, which is responsible for supplying the raw materials that makeup 100% of the finished products of this industry, and was managed in six phases: scope survey, document preparation, design & plan; finalization of the purchasing process, execution, and delivery of the project.
