New Product Introduction (NPI) Manufacturing Workflow
Accelerate your product launch! This New Product Introduction (NPI) Manufacturing Workflow streamlines every step - from design validation to pilot production - ensuring a smooth, efficient, and scalable entry into manufacturing. Minimize delays, reduce risk, and maximize your return on investment with this essential process for manufacturers.
Start
Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Retrieve Initial Design Specifications
Fetch initial design specifications from the product design data model.
2. Assign Design Review Task
Create a task for the engineering team to review the design specifications.
3. Create Preliminary Bill of Materials (BOM)
Create a preliminary BOM based on the design specifications.
4. Create Process Flow Diagram
Create a preliminary process flow diagram outlining the manufacturing steps.
5. Factory Feasibility Assessment Task
Assign a task to assess manufacturing feasibility at the factory.
6. Send Initial NPI Kickoff Email
Send an email to relevant stakeholders announcing the NPI process initiation.
7. Create Prototype Production Plan
Define the prototype production plan, including quantity and timeline.
8. Prototype Build Task Assignment
Assign the prototype build task to the manufacturing team.
9. Update BOM with Prototype Feedback
Update the BOM based on feedback from the prototype build.
10. Retrieve Prototype Test Results
Fetch the test results from the prototype testing phase.
11. Generate Prototype Test Report
Create a report summarizing the prototype test results.
12. Process Validation Task Assignment
Assign the task of validating the manufacturing process.
13. Update Manufacturing Instructions
Update manufacturing instructions with process validation findings.
14. Send NPI Launch Notification
Send an SMS notification to key personnel regarding the product launch.
15. Create Production Ramp-Up Plan
Define the plan for scaling up production volume.
