The objective of this research is to optimize the CAPEX purchasing process in a large polymetallic mining company, evaluating the problems and bottlenecks present in this process. The methodology presented focuses on the exhaustive collection of quantitative and qualitative data, as well as the implementation of strategies based on Lean methodologies such as Just in Time and Muda. As a result, a significant reduction in purchase order delivery times is presented, as well as an improvement in efficiency and overall process performance, validated through statistical analysis and simulations in ARENA software. The conclusion is that the implementation of Just in Time and Muda strategies has proven to be effective in optimizing the CAPEX purchasing process, with positive impacts on operational efficiency and time reduction with 95% confidence level. It is recommended to continue exploring the potential of the Just in Time methodology in international environments and to perform a long-term follow-up of the implemented improvements.
