New Product Introduction (NPI) Services
Rapidly Taking Your Ideas to Market
Our New Product Introduction (NPI) methodology is designed to move as rapidly and seamlessly as possible, from prototype, through NPI, to scaled manufacturing. Our decades of electronics manufacturing experience have taught us the importance of a dedicated project launch team, focused on your budget and your deadline, working closely with your staff to make your new product a reality.
Understanding Your Requirements
- Business Objectives: We work with your team to identify cost and timeline objectives.
- Technical Data Package Review: Assess initial technical data package to ensure all required information is available and in the proper format.
- Detailed Gap Analyses: Our process identifies unique project requirements that may exceed industry standards, reducing the potential for unexpected misalignments.
Project Management
- Single Point of Contact: A dedicated NPI Program Manager coordinates all internal activity, aligning our resources with your objectives.
- Team Approach: Subject matter experts from engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality assurance assemble resources based on project scope and configuration.
- Seamless Integration: Our team becomes a virtual extension of your operation.
Transparency
- Custom Report Formats: “Action Registers” configured for your project requirements are maintained by your NPI project manager and serve as the baseline for all communications.
- Periodic and Structured Reviews: Defined and scheduled project reviews that provide the basis for resource allocation and constraint management to drive progress.
Process
- Design Assist (DFx): Value added engineering assistance to optimize your product for cost and manufacturability, validate supply chain sourcing decisions, improve process development, while collaborating with your design engineering team.
- Prototyping: For early engagement opportunities, our prototyping capability validates manufacturability, accuracy of BOM, and functionality of product design.
- Pre-Production Product/Process Verification: Through a robust first article process, we verify BOM and costs, finalize documentation package, and prepare for production.
- Early Risk Identification: We identify risks and exposures early in the process so that solutions can be quickly incorporated.
