Harness Level Optimization Dialog Box and Field Reference

Validation: Dialog

Box

To access: Select a harness in the Harness Level Optimization dialog box and click the Validate Harness Levels () button.

Use this dialog box to validate physical harness levels from a topology design against the full complexity harness levels from the product plan design. The physical design is in a different diagram.

Description

See Validating Physical Harness Levels against Full Complexity Harness Levels.

Field	Description
Save detailed validation report for this harness	Saves a report that contains a summary of everything from the validation.
Full Complexity Requirements Window	Displays the Full Complexity harness levels from the product plan and indicates whether the physical harness levels support them or not. The Total Cost at the bottom of this window is the cost for the full complexity (based on the metric and the take rates). The Volume is the number of vehicles this harness is installed in (most are the platform volume, but some smaller harnesses are optional meaning they are not on all vehicles).
Available Levels Window	If a supported harness level is selected in the Full Complexity Requirements window, this displays the physical harness levels that support it. The lowest cost physical level displays in bold at the top of the list. If an unsupported harness level is selected in the Full Complexity Requirements window, this displays the physical harness levels that could be made to support it. The Total Cost at the bottom of this window is for the validated design (based on the chosen metric and based on the volumes of the full complexity levels they support). The Giveaway Cost is the difference between these 2 costs and is the giveaway cost.
Harness Results	The results in this box are calculated once for the entire harness. The Count column indicates how many of the vehicles that could be ordered and that require this harness are supported by a harness level in the validated design. The Volume column similarly shows the support/unsupported vehicles in relation with their expected volumes (calculated from the take rates). The Giveaway is the total giveaway cost calculated based on the total cost of the full complexity and the total cost of implementing the validated design against it using the metric selected in the Harness Level Optimization Dialog Box. This indicates to the user how “efficient” the validated design might be.
Connectors Window	If a supported harness level is selected in the Full Complexity Requirements window and a physical level that supports it is selected in the Available Levels window, this displays which connectors are given away for that level. If an unsupported harness level is selected in the Full Complexity Requirements window and a physical level that could support it is selected in the Available Levels window, this displays: Which required connectors are currently missing from the physical harness level (indicated by an error icon) Which connectors are given away for that level (no error icon)
Signals Window	If a supported harness level is selected in the Full Complexity Requirements window and a physical level that supports it is selected in the Available Levels window, this displays which signals are given away for that level. If an unsupported harness level is selected in the Full Complexity Requirements window and a physical level that could support it is selected in the Available Levels window, this displays: Which required signals are currently missing from the physical harness level (indicated by an error icon) Which signals are given away for that level (no error icon)
