Optimized Solutions

NPI engineers not only focus on developing the optimized manufacturing solution but provide open book access to processes and ideas with “our customer”. This approach permits “product realization” to become a reality as quickly as possible. Standard outputs from the NPI process are:

• Design for manufacturability (DFM)
• Design for Test (DFT)
• Supply chain analysis
• First article inspection report (FAI)
• Transition readiness summary analysis
