Imagine that you work as a Project Engineer in a frigorific company in central Brazil. One day, one of the equipment under your care, known as the bone breaker, stopped working due to its age. The bone breaker belongs to the company and has been working continuously for 10 years. Since the machine is not working, the damage is great since there is no other machine that can replace its function, causing the line to stop. In order to start the problem-solving process, you decide to perform the first visual analysis. When performing this analysis, you find cracks in more than one of the bone breakers. As the crack was widespread and present in many of the elements, given the machine's lifespan and its importance to the process, you choose to obtain a new machine similar to the existing one. What is the problem with the bone breaker?


a) The bone breaker is not working due to a lack of maintenance.
b) The bone breaker is not working due to a lack of energy.
c) The bone breaker is not working due to its age and the presence of cracks.
