• Follow directions for the required number of cable assemblies to be completed each day, measured by cable length and quantity.
• Connect wired cables to circuit boards once the housing is completed and route them correctly to create the final assembly.
• In Housing Cable Assembly, insert crimped wires into small plastic housings at the ends of the wires as shown in work examples.
• Place small caps or plastic pieces on the ends of wires repeatedly, following the specified assembly method.
• Complete the required number of housing assemblies each day in line with production targets.
• Perform small-part assembly using hand tools and fixtures as needed.
