NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION: A PROVEN APPROACH 

CLARITY AND PROCESS: KEYS TO SUCCESS

New Product Introduction (NPI) refers to developing a defined process to populate a circuit assembly. But approaches to NPI can vary from company to company – and so can the outcomes. 

At Niche, we have a structured NPI program that delivers consistent results, year after year. Our focus is on eliminating defects and production inefficiencies by working smarter from day one, creating three critical advantages: 

  • Expedited Delivery
  • Enhanced Product Quality and Reliability
  • Cost Efficiency

When it comes to NPI, what sets Niche apart?  A number of vital advantages:

A SOLID FOUNDATION 

Niche builds a platform for success with a proven, granular approach:  

  • Every project benefits from the multifaceted expertise of our NPI team, which includes director-level members, operations and engineering pros, and quality staff, among others. 
  • Our team reviews every design with an eye toward production, developing multiple iterations to ensure manufacturability, assembly, and testability.
  • We use proprietary in-house documentation that provides step-by-step instructions that guide every facet of production.

A DEFINED PROCESS   

A high-quality product requires a laser-like focus on the process – and every detail: 

  • We source all parts against our approved vendor list and RoHS status, ensuring material conformance that meet specifications.
  • The Niche production team identifies the optimal equipment for each job and creates any custom tooling required.
  • Our plan matches personnel with the best skills and experience for production, and includes robust documentation control.

PRECISION IN PRODUCTION 

  • We maintain consistency in production by using identical equipment and processes for prototypes and volume production. 
  • Our in-house systems provide real-time data on production status, quality, and more.
  • We implement all test protocols defined by our customers, along with automated optical inspection (AOI), to ensure quality. 

It all adds up to a time-tested NPI program that delivers for our customers. When it comes to NPI, it pays to choose a partner with a plan for quality – and a track record of success.
