Ioan,
Thanks for the feedback. Believe it or not, we are moving in the right
direction and it's directly related to lean mfg. We are a very high
mix-low volume shop and have managed to eliminate most of the problems
you mentioned. There comes a point in all lean journeys where you have
to start dealing with the "harder" issues because the easier stuff has
already been fixed.

Larry,
I think you are not advancing in the right direction. Besides this issue
related to DDPAK, you will slowly see that you will need to manually
insert more and more components, like connectors, inductors, etc.
Besides that, the attrition rate is a lot higher with parts in sticks.
And also, you will see on the boards more SOICs with bent leads,
therefore you will increase your touchup.
Normally reels are the most assembly friendly media. Somewhere down the
road you will draw a line and see that this lever for reducing the
inventory actually increases the assembly costs, so you will not be a
winner.
Lean manufacturing has many other ways to control costs.
Just an opinion. Good luck,
Ioan

Subject: [TN] DDPak diodes in sticks/tubes
We are trying to reduce the amount of $$ we are carrying in inventory so
are switching as many parts from reels to tubes as we can. The tubes
that this particular component package (DDpak) are shipped in just don't
work in a standard vibratory feeder because they are too large and
bulky. We are wondering how other companies deal with this. Is there
another component whose tube is close enough in size that we could
transfer them into? Out of the nearly 1000 tube parts we have, not one
will work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Larry
