Join us on a journey through the Capex Strategy Process
Below is a principal image of the Capex Process, consisting of its three sub-processes. Follow the Capex Strategy process (marked in blue color). Each step in that process is described below the image.
-
Develop a base alternative that follows certain rules and serves as a reference point. The base alternative may not be a realistic alternative but is rather more an analytical starting point for the work to come. All plants are treated the same here.
-
After setting the base alternative, a long list of so-called strategic building blocks or SBBs is created. These are built from the base alternative. You want a large library of SBB's, at least 5 to 10 for every plant you have. These are often tactical opportunities such as debottlenecking, capability addition, conversion or closures.
-
Next, create combinations of SBBs, known as strategic alternatives. Consider combinations like debottlenecking with mill closures, capability changes, or adding lines. Once the SBB’s are created, each Strategic Alternative can be created and evaluated in a few seconds.
-
Rank the strategic alternatives from a value perspective considering various types of sensitivity analysis. Even though some assumptions might end up incorrectly and the created value might differ from the calculated ones, the internal ranking of the strategic alternatives are surprisingly robust.
-
Approve the best alternative as “current strategy”. This strategy and its strategic initiatives shall govern the capital budgeting process. The approved budget must be aligned with the current capex strategy, the capital budgeting process and individual capex decisions will be surprisingly simple.
-
Follow-up how your capex strategy is being implemented. Over time, the current strategy shall be continuously challenged, either due to the changed market conditions.
