Part 2. Process Preparation (Cut, Strip, Prep)

Great harnesses aren't just designed; they are manufactured through disciplined repetition. This chapter moves from theory to the factory floor, transforming raw spools into precision components.

We break down the critical sequence required to build a consistent interconnect system:

• Precision Cutting & Stripping: Ensuring exact lengths and clean conductors is non-negotiable—whether for single wires or complex multi-core cables.
• Tooling Strategy: Understanding the machine capabilities that drive high-speed production.
• Traceability: Linking every material and operation to the final product to block mix-ups.

This is where you lock in quality, ensuring every cut is exact and every strip is clean before the first connector is ever attached.
