leadership and

Applying Your Engineering Skills & Understanding Wire

& Cable Manufacturing
As a General Cable Technology Specialist, you will spend considerable time working with manufacturing
associates at our various plants to improve our product designs and processes. It is essential that you have
a thorough understanding of the General Cable manufacturing environment and how you may apply your
engineering skills.

Our Manufacturing Process

Each General Cable manufacturing plant is different, but they also have many things in common. Ten of the 12
North American plants manufacture wire and cable with sizes ranging from 0.01 inch to one inch in diameter for
insulated wire all the way up to six inches in diameter for three or more insulated conductors that are cabled
together and jacketed. Generally, the smaller cable is produced at a communications plant, medium-sized cable
at an industrial & specialty plant, and the larger cable at an energy plant. All of the cable-producing plants are
very material-intensive, with an average of 70% of production cost in raw materials.
Some General Cable plants draw their own wire from copper and aluminum rod to smaller gauge sizes, while
others buy wire and fiber optic glass to exact specifications. Next, the copper, aluminum or fiber optic conductors
are processed through high-capacity extrusion equipment, which first applies the insulation to the wire. For
multi-stranded cable, the wire is then processed through a series of pairing and cabling operations, with the final
assembly of wires being encased within an exterior jacketing process via a secondary extrusion process.
Following the manufacture of a cable, the finished product is subjected to a series of extensive and demanding
quality checks to ensure its safety and integrity. For larger applications, the finished product is shipped on large
reels containing as much as 40,000 feet of cable and weighing up to 20,000 pounds. For smaller applications, such
as retail sales and industrial distribution, the smaller gauge cable is cut to lengths as short as 50 feet, packaged
and provided to major national retailers or distributors such as The Home Depot or Graybar for resale purposes.
General Cable also operates one U.S.-based and two Mexico-based plants dedicated to assemblies operations.
These locations receive cable from other General Cable plants for conversion into automotive ignition wire sets
or other wire harnesses and assemblies. The cable is cut to length, terminated, put into the appropriate
packaging and shipped direct to major automotive aftermarket retailers such as AutoZone or to major OEMs
such as GE Medical Systems and Delphi.
The typical General Cable plant is between 100,000 and 400,000 square feet, but one of our international
plants is over one million square feet, and three U.S. plants are over 600,000 square feet. Most plants operate
24 hours a day, five to seven days per week, depending on demand. Our plants are a mixture of union and
non-union, but labor-management relations are very good at all locations.

Our Manufacturing Culture

Manufacturing excellence is the bedrock of General Cables industry leadership and performance. Through our
continuous, comprehensive and coordinated efforts toward safety, quality, productivity and service, we have
identified three critical traits that are characteristics in our manufacturing plants:
A common focus throughout General Cable on associate safety: Our Zero & Beyond vision guides a
comprehensive view of work conditions, policies and practices with one constant goal zero accidents
because nothing else is acceptable.
An Operator-Led Process Control (OLPC) environment: General Cable leadership strongly believes
that the correct way to operate a plant is to empower associates with responsibility and authority at the
operator level. By providing substantial and ongoing training to our associates, we ensure that our
operators produce the very best wire and cable products with minimal supervision and direction. The
OLPC philosophy ensures an efficient manufacturing process that places emphasis on the value of our
dedicated, trustworthy, well-trained production associates.
Lean Six Sigma manufacturing techniques: General Cable has combined Lean thinking with proven Six
Sigma tools under a common umbrella called Lean Six Sigma. We believe our integration of these
progressive Lean Six Sigma tools is key to our competitiveness. We apply a variety of these
manufacturing techniques throughout all of our plants in an ongoing effort to produce more with less and
have no degradation of quality. Company-wide, we have certified Master Blackbelts, Blackbelts,
Greenbelts and Lean Technicians who put Lean Six Sigma to work every day. The Company is dedicated to
the Lean Six Sigma process, offering numerous internal and external training programs to our associates.
Ongoing training is also provided to all our associates who wish to obtain Blackbelt, Greenbelt or Lean
Technician certification status.

Applying Your Engineering Skills & Understanding Wire

& Cable Manufacturing
As a General Cable Technology Specialist, you will spend considerable time working with manufacturing
associates at our various plants to improve our product designs and processes. It is essential that you have
a thorough understanding of the General Cable manufacturing environment and how you may apply your
engineering skills.

Our Manufacturing Process

Each General Cable manufacturing plant is different, but they also have many things in common. Ten of the 12
North American plants manufacture wire and cable with sizes ranging from 0.01 inch to one inch in diameter for
insulated wire all the way up to six inches in diameter for three or more insulated conductors that are cabled
together and jacketed. Generally, the smaller cable is produced at a communications plant, medium-sized cable
at an industrial & specialty plant, and the larger cable at an energy plant. All of the cable-producing plants are
very material-intensive, with an average of 70% of production cost in raw materials.
Some General Cable plants draw their own wire from copper and aluminum rod to smaller gauge sizes, while
others buy wire and fiber optic glass to exact specifications. Next, the copper, aluminum or fiber optic conductors
are processed through high-capacity extrusion equipment, which first applies the insulation to the wire. For
multi-stranded cable, the wire is then processed through a series of pairing and cabling operations, with the final
assembly of wires being encased within an exterior jacketing process via a secondary extrusion process.
Following the manufacture of a cable, the finished product is subjected to a series of extensive and demanding
quality checks to ensure its safety and integrity. For larger applications, the finished product is shipped on large
reels containing as much as 40,000 feet of cable and weighing up to 20,000 pounds. For smaller applications, such
as retail sales and industrial distribution, the smaller gauge cable is cut to lengths as short as 50 feet, packaged
and provided to major national retailers or distributors such as The Home Depot or Graybar for resale purposes.
General Cable also operates one U.S.-based and two Mexico-based plants dedicated to assemblies operations.
These locations receive cable from other General Cable plants for conversion into automotive ignition wire sets
or other wire harnesses and assemblies. The cable is cut to length, terminated, put into the appropriate
packaging and shipped direct to major automotive aftermarket retailers such as AutoZone or to major OEMs
such as GE Medical Systems and Delphi.
The typical General Cable plant is between 100,000 and 400,000 square feet, but one of our international
plants is over one million square feet, and three U.S. plants are over 600,000 square feet. Most plants operate
24 hours a day, five to seven days per week, depending on demand. Our plants are a mixture of union and
non-union, but labor-management relations are very good at all locations.

Our Manufacturing Culture

Manufacturing excellence is the bedrock of General Cables industry leadership and performance. Through our
continuous, comprehensive and coordinated efforts toward safety, quality, productivity and service, we have
identified three critical traits that are characteristics in our manufacturing plants:
