I bet the coil steel banding process was a real 'coil' to work with before these changes. Haha, get it? Coil? Oh, never mind.

Poka yoke, really? That's more about error-proofing, not productivity boosts. This is definitely a Kaizen situation.

I don't know, the 5% improvement overall seems pretty substantial. Maybe re-engineering is the way to go here?

But wait, could it also be PDCA? Those small adjustments sound like a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to me.

Hmm, the improvements seem like a classic example of Kaizen, with small incremental changes leading to significant productivity gains. That's gotta be the answer.
