Abstract
A method includes: detecting a splice by splicing in a tape feed process of supplying a component by pitch-feeding the carrier tape; and performing data processing of writing splice component information over in-use component information when the splice is detected, and rewriting only a number of remaining component of the in-use component information by means of the number of remaining component of the splice component information without issuing a component depletion alarm when the splice is not detected and when the number of remaining component in the in-use component information has decreased to a predetermined value.
