Item MODELLING AND OPTIMIZATION OF HARNESS DESIGN AND COST ANALYSIS USING SOFTWARE TOOLS(2022-01-11) Tankut, Mehmet Kemal; Lotfisadigh, Bahram; Kara, AliA harness is a cable web or an assembly of cables that transmits electrical power, signals, or information between two or multiple sources. It also may have some other subcomponents such as connectors, backshells, wires, boots, transitions, shields, jackets, and splices. Since a harness may consist of various materials and subcomponents, determining required materials is critical in the harness design and production process. The selection of appropriate components requires an excessive amount of time to browse through standards and datasheets, therefore. Time losses are depending heavily on the designer's experience level and complexity of the ordered harness. In this research, to reduce time losses during harness design and meanwhile reduce the risk of error in component selection software is developed. This study encapsulates the impacts and results of such an attempt to improve harness design process considering harness complexity, user experience. According to experimental results, consumed time on projects per month for each designer is calculated and a cost model developed. Finally, the contribution of prepared software is evaluated and results show that application of this software in the design and development process of harness regardless of harness complexity and user experience is beneficial.
