Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study of assembly times for electrical connections and wire harnesses. The various types of electrical connection are described, together with the assembly of wires and wire harnesses. Comparisons are made of the times for the assembly operations associated with each type of connection, obtained from a variety of sources. From these comparisons, estimates are made of average or recommended assembly times. Finally, the recommended times are presented in the form of classification schemes for use by designers during the early stages of design.
