In the 21st century, it is essential in the industrial sector to monitor the
waste generated in the production of motorcycle parts. In this process, glass wool
is an essential material used for thermal insulation and noise reduction, however,
its waste has generated an economic and environmental impact. With the
objective of promoting the reduction of the waste of this raw material, a field
research was carried out, with a qualitative approach, in the production line of a
company in the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM), therefore, a case study. The
methodology carried out consisted of four stages: observation of waste; root
cause identification; planning and construction of a pneumatic prototype. After
the results obtained, it was verified that the project is adequate to accomplish
what it proposed, being possible to optimize the method of inserting the glass
wool in the diffuser tube, allowing the absorption of the interference of these
elements in the process, avoiding the waste of the raw material, cooperating with
sustainability and cost reduction for the company.
