Why this is relevant — High-voltage harnesses share the deviation management process interlock and hipot discipline shown in this automotive case.
A regional automotive solutions provider ordered custom wire harnesses, but discrepancies arose between quoted and ordered prices due to varying technical specifications.
- Challenge
- Misalignment on technical specifications—specifically whether partial braiding was included—and corresponding pricing caused order processing delays and required clarification across multiple purchase orders.
- Solution
- The account management team implemented a rigorous specification verification process during the PO stage, explicitly detailing material differences (e.g., tesa cloth tape, partial braiding, specific TXL wire gauges) and confirming pricing before production commenced.
- Result
- Eliminated spec-related pricing disputes on subsequent orders, ensuring smooth processing for high-volume repeat orders and scaling.
- 20awg, 18awg, 16awg, 14awg tin-plated copper TXL wire
- tesa cloth tape
- partial braiding specification
- multiple POs clarified
