A crucial time for any product development cycle is the transition from product design to manufacturing. The New Product Introduction (NPI) phase requires key elements of the design to be matured and finalized so that all deliverables are ready to be released to manufacturing. Steven Van Voorhis, Vice President, Engineering Business Development at D&K Engineering will walk us through the D&K Engineering’s Total Commercialization Solutions™ process. It is unique process in that it fully drives a seamless, transparent transition from R&D to manufacturing during the new product introduction process.

Precisely defined deliverables for each function at each phase of the program are validated before a product moves to the next phase of the NPI process.

Steven will expand on some of these key deliverables, including:
– Beta design and build verification cycles.
– Supply chain readiness for production.
– Configuration control formalized.
– Finalize manufacturing plan, work instructions, and quality plan.
– Complete costed BOM and total manufacturing costs.
– The complete pilot production runs.
