This is owed to the demand for advanced features, the advent of \u00a0Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving and the growing need for electrification. These mega trends directly impact and create the need for a highly sophisticated automotive electrical and electronic system, placing great emphasis on the wire harness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/wire-harness-change-management\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/wire-harness-change-management\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this webinar<\/a> to learn about the challenges facing the wire harness industry and how digitalization with KSK holds the key to overcoming these challenges.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/wire-harness-change-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Change management solutions for the wire harness business<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/our-story\/glossary\/what-is-ksk-in-auto-manufacturing\/109715\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/our-story\/glossary\/what-is-ksk-in-auto-manufacturing\/109715\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The KSK concept <\/a>(Kundenspezifischer Kabelbaum) originates from Germany and translates to a customer-specific wire harness. The surge in demand for mass customization is driving up the number of unique vehicle configurations, increasing the wiring harness&#8217;s complexity and variance now more than ever. KSK is the best solution, but change becomes difficult the more complex the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This webinar is the third part of our KSK series and will shed light on challenges in change management and how advanced harness manufacturing engineering solutions can help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What you will learn?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Change management in the wire harness business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>KSK model and its challenges in manufacturing engineering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Software tools for manufacturing engineering and change management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watch the Webinar\u2192 <\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/wire-harness-change-management\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/webinars.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/wire-harness-change-management\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Change management solutions for the wire harness business<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in catching up on the series?
