The document summarizes a green belt project to reduce loose tape issues on reels of components. The initial goal was to reduce loose tape parts per million (PPMs) to 2000, with a stretch goal of 1000. Various improvements were made to the tape and reel station setup and other areas. As a result, loose tape PPMs decreased from over 4000 in April 2013 to under 1000 by January 2014, meeting the stretch goal. Statistical tools like process mapping, fishbone diagrams, measurement system analysis, and design of experiments were used to identify and validate solutions. Other potential future projects were also identified.
