This article and the subsequent white paper link was written by Mike Keer and the Product Realization Group team. New Product Introduction consists of people, processes and technology, which together provide a formal methodology for a product's transition from engineering design to volume manufacturing. A subset of the product lifecycle process, which covers the entire lifecycle of a product from concept to end of life, NPI's primary focus is on a product's beta, pilot, and general availability (GA) stages. Here are seven best practices for deploying a strong NPI strategy: Use Concurrent Engineering Mitigate Risks Employ Design for Excellence (DFX) Leverage Rapid Prototyping and Accelerated Life Testing Adhere to Agency and Environmental Compliance Requirements Learn from …
Managing Design Risks
Successful new product development (NPD) involves the art of balancing schedules, resources, and costs to enable products that launch on-time, with desired performance and at the right cost. Inevitably, trade-offs and risks must be made along the way. Companies that manage these trade-offs and risks consistently outperform their competitors. On May 17, we created a panel of industry experts to look at how to identify all the risks in development, and shares their knowledge of the latest emerging risks. The panelists offer a variety of perspectives – ranging from Mechanical and Electrical Design, Product Reliability and Parts Fabrication. Practical issues of how upstream design decisions impact downstream performance, quality and costs will be explored. You can download a copy of the …
