Qualitel
has spent over many years refining and improving our
high-mix NPI process. The result of this effort is a robust
process that is flexible and responsive to our customer
needs.
Our
NPI process starts with engineering accurately planning the
manufacturing of your product when we first receive your
RFQ. From our standard modeled processes, we create a
detailed manufacturing plan (MVP) that lists the various
operations required to build your product. Next, a detailed
set of step-by-step instructions (MDP) for each operation is
documented, including automated processes and test plans if
required. For turnkey orders, we formulate a complete
materials and receiving inspection plan. The bi-product of
all this upfront engineering investment is a detailed
manufacturing plan and accurate quotation ready for your
order.
During
the NPI manufacturing phase, the manufacturing plans are
executed and verified, with only planned processes being
used. The assigned planning/quoting engineer works closely
with our manufacturing engineers and production team members
to shepherd your product through the entire production
process. For turnkey orders, the materials and receiving
inspection plans are also executed and verified. The final
NPI output is a product and proven plan ready to be turned
over to sustaining production
