Think about it: additional inventory equates to additional complexity-related costs. But the price tag associated with harness \u201ccomplexity\u201d is difficult to quantify and often estimated with simplistic rules-of-thumb. For example, most automotive companies focus on the piece cost of each variation of the harness (also called the harness level). Yet an automotive wiring harness rarely has just a single part number that can be ordered and installed in a vehicle. This approach ignores both the additional costs that are not captured in the piece cost and the financial impact of having numerous harness levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s competitive harness manufacturing environment, businesses need to be able to accurately measure and manage complexity costs. Read on to <strong>see at just how complex calculating complexity costs has become, and how automation can lead to more accurate cost modeling and optimization.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/white-paper-harness-variation-complexity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See how to reduce harness cost<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our comprehensive wiring harness solution was supported by a series of blogs.
