We understand the intricacies and challenges involved in this critical phase of bringing new products to market. Our NPI team offers full support throughout the transition from development to production. We offer practical solutions founded on complete engineering support and stringent manufacturing standards, with an emphasis on flexibility, speed, and reliability.
Our specialized team focuses on rapid prototype manufacturing and quick product introduction, often with turnaround times as short as 3-5 business days. This expedites the shift from development to production and includes engineering support, documentation creation, DFx reports, SMT electronics manufacturing, and any other necessary steps before delivering the final product or system to the customer.
The entire project is closely monitored by our engineering team to ensure strict quality control and compliance with all customer requirements. We achieve this through the use of specialized equipment, automated assembly, and rigorous compatibility checks throughout the assembly process.
What is the NPI process at BMK?
The NPI process involves building a prototype with the primary aim of preparing the customer for a smooth transition to high-volume production. We provide support for the full product lifecycle. This process begins with the receipt of engineering documentation from the customer, followed by a comprehensive review by BMK to ensure all necessary materials are in place.
We then create a product folder and structure, which serves to integrate the documentation into our system for the purpose of procuring raw materials, establishing manufacturing line layouts, preparing assembly instructions, specifying assembly requirements, conducting compatibility testing, and more.
Our entire operational team, including quality, engineering, and production experts, comes together for a preparatory meeting. Here, we ensure that everything is in order for manufacturing, including manufacturing files, materials, tools, layouts, and instructions. Following this preparation meeting, production can be scheduled under the full engineering supervision of our team, ensuring a smooth process. We provide an NPI report at the conclusion, offering insights into the transition from development to production.
NPI Processes from a Manufacturer's PerspectiveUpon receiving the customer's engineering documentation, our engineering team thoroughly examines it from a manufacturing perspective. We meticulously review the documentation before production and determine which material supplies, such as tools and machines are genuinely necessary based on our extensive knowledge and manufacturing experience.
Our experts assess the entire manufacturing process, present their findings to the customer, and propose solutions through DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and NPI guidance reports.
Our approach is rooted in decades of manufacturing experience and aims to define the ideal production process during the prototyping phase. We strive to help the customer build confidence in the more advanced stages, with a focus on adapting the product for high-volume production while ensuring cost-effectiveness and economic viability.
