Through our rigorous NPI process, we helped a medical device client achieve a 99.2% first pass yield in their initial pilot production, accelerated their time to market by 3 weeks ahead of their original plan, and saved over $50,000 in potential rework costs.
A: Depending on product complexity, a complete NPI cycle typically takes 8-16 weeks. Simple products may take 8-10 weeks, while complex products require 12-16 weeks. We provide detailed timeline planning at project initiation.
A: While NPI service requires upfront investment, it significantly reduces overall project costs by minimizing rework, improving yield, and shortening time to market. Our clients typically save 20-30% of total project costs.
A: Yes. We recommend starting the NPI process when the design is 80% complete. Early engagement allows timely identification of design issues, avoiding major late-stage modifications. Our DFM analysis helps optimize the design.
A: NPI is a structured product introduction process, while Turnkey is a one-stop service model. Turnkey projects strictly follow our NPI process, ensuring professional management from design to mass production at every stage.
