Abstract
This paper describes typical wire harness assembly methods, including manual, semiautomatic, automatic, and robotized assembly systems. For each case, mathematical models are developed to describe economic perf ormance. The various systems are compared to the harness specification . Finally, the future role of the robotized system is discussed.
