ELECTRICAL WIRE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY EXPO—Mentor
Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced availability of the
newest tool in the Capital® software suite, Capital Harness™ TVM.
This tool automatically generates detailed harness manufacturing
process and cost data that is specific to each harness design, each
factory and each company’s cost models. Capital Harness TVM is part
of the Capital tool suite, a powerful electrical system and wire
harness design environment for the automotive, aerospace and
defense industries. The new tool adds rapid, accurate harness
manufacturing process modeling and cost calculation capabilities to
the Capital “Define-Design-Build-Service” flow.
Capital Harness TVM addresses a critical business dynamic for
wire harness suppliers: how to respond rapidly to requests for
quotation. Rapid responses are needed both to win new business and
to accommodate design changes, and are particularly challenging
because wire harness manufacturing is typically a low-margin
business. Capital Harness TVM provides rapid, highly detailed
manufacturing cost data and also supports process choice and
sourcing decisions, thus delivering total value management.
Jeremy Tibbett, director of engineering - LEONI Region Americas,
commented, “Accurate, fast and repeatable cost calculations are a
key to any harness manufacturer’s competitive capability. Capital
Harness TVM not only helps harness manufacturers win business
profitably, it is also a platform for other activities such as
value engineering and process optimization. I am particularly
impressed that Mentor Graphics has created a standard product that
is, nevertheless, highly flexible and able to protect company IP in
this critical area.”
Capital Harness TVM is a native Capital application, able to act
directly on design data generated by other Capital tools. But it
can also read data in several standard formats, including the
emerging KBL standard. Capital Harness TVM can be implemented
either as part of an extended Capital flow or stand-alone; data can
also be received from the Mentor® mid-market VeSys® product, or
from other industry tools.
Nick Smith, business development director of Integrated
Electrical Systems Division, Mentor Graphics, said, “It was
important to create a very flexible product that appeals both to
large, multi-national organizations and to smaller harness
suppliers. We expect Capital Harness TVM to deliver substantial
business value to many existing and new customers.”
