• Collaborate with Suppliers: Coordinate with external suppliers to identify opportunities
for pre-installing harness standoffs and supports and determine which harnesses, if any,
should be pre-installed during the fabrication of structural assemblies.
• Process Optimization: Establish and document processes, guidelines, and standards to
streamline the installation of wire harnesses, making the process faster, easier, and safer.
Identify preferred installation components and methods.
• Damage Mitigation and Repair: Anticipate potential types of damage to wiring
harnesses during production and develop mitigation strategies and repair procedures to
ensure the integrity and safety of the installation.
• Adapt to High-Rate Production: Plan for production rate increases, analyzing how the
production system will need to change to accommodate higher volumes over time.
• Support Certification Efforts: Create process documents, guidelines, and standards
required to support the FAA certification efforts and maintain compliance with all
regulatory requirements.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement opportunities for continuous
improvement within the EWIS production process to enhance quality, reduce costs, and
increase efficiency.
