Abstract :
Due to expanding electronic features in most equipment, the role of the wire harness is becoming more and more prominent in many manufacturing fields. Furthermore, wire harness assembly is certainly one of the most difficult and time consuming assembly phases in manufacturing. This article presents an economic performance analysis of harness assembly methods. It is hoped that this will aid the designer to select the most economical assembly method
