A process audit is simple - Our consulting team breaks down your various tape applications and begins analyzing them on an itemized basis. Our application analysis draws upon the ideas and experiences of our team members, 60 years of experience, and several adhesive tape and automatic dispensing manufacturers. Further, the team compares and contrasts the adhesives that you are using against other available tapes from our proprietary database.
