What is NPI?
NPI (New Product Introduction) is the structured process of transitioning a new product from prototype through first article to series production.
NPI encompasses the entire process of introducing a new product into manufacturing. At an EMS partner, NPI includes order clarification, DFM analysis, component qualification, first article production, process validation and series release.
