The competitiveness established in the automotive industry implies continuous improvement in all information and action areas. It is therefore very important to be mindful that all manufacturing and logistics activities produce waste. In this regard, and taking into account the manufacturing cycle of control cables for the automotive industry, it was found that a large amount of lubricant was lost during the task of injecting grease into the spiral used in the control cables used to drive motor vehicle doors, windows and brakes. The industrial activity was followed carefully leading to the identification of the key causes of the waste and a brainstorming was conducted enabling the exploration of new ideas about how to solve the problem. A novel equipment has been developed, and all the logistics around the supply task have also been cared for. The new approach developed, as well as the redefinition of the logistical method of supplying the lubricating grease to the production lines, made it possible to make the process more versatile for the admission of different grease packs, as well as to allow better use of the existing grease in the reservoirs, resulting in a reduction of more than 70 per cent of the grease waste.
