Implementing Lean NPI as a Business Process
On-demand Web Seminar
Abstract
Learn a new high-level appreciation of Lean NPI and how NPI impacts the business success of PCB based products.
Duration: 15:26
Details
Overview
The introduction of new products into the market can be a time consuming and costly exercise. Implementing a standardized Lean New Product Introduction (NPI) process for printed circuit board based products enables successful hand-off to manufacture. The NPI process defines the methods and stages required for a smooth transition from the design environment to manufacturing.
This web seminar will:
- Explain the design-to-manufacturing flow
- Emphasize NPI as a critical phase of product development and getting products to market
- Explore different methods of data hand-off to manufacture
- Illustrate Design for Manufacture (DFM) with its subsequent impact on revision spins, yield and fast volume ramp-up
- Define Lean NPI and its effect on the overall business process
What You Will Learn
- High-level appreciation of how New Product Introduction impacts on the business success of PCB based products. The hierarchy of NPI and the best practice stages involved in achieving a Lean New Product Implementation process.
