Abstrakt: This paper presents a methodology developed to prioritize feeders for receiving investments and analyzing a power utility distribution network. The proposal applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process method to determine which feeders should receive the available resources as a priority. The methodology provides greater assertiveness in decision-making, besides using historical data, the opinion and experience of company specialists. The Plan-Do-Check-Action model assists in verifying improvement interventions, allowing the visualization of the network's stretches with recurring failures, expanding the possibilities for improvement. The correct application of resources is fundamental to the company, as it can guarantee favorable results in feeders' performance, thus improving the company's indicators and the perception that customers have of the utility. The scientific contribution of this paper is the development of a hybrid technique that combines the prioritization method with a model to check its effectiveness, with flexibility, and versatility. In addition, the computational tool developed brought significant time savings for data extraction and analysis, allowing the user to customize the research, defining the periods, types of equipment, and causes of failure easily and quickly.
