You may want to teach your Electrical Team to do a pull test on each wire they install in a component or crimp a lug onto, immediately after they install or crimp that wire, before moving onto the next wire. Afterward, they go back and check their work, looking at the connections and doing a second pull test. We had zero electrical failures last year after I instituted this practice (other than when someone drilled through a tube into the wire running into the tube). I borrowed this from work where we do a lot of wiring in the equipment we build.
