New Product Introduction (NPI)
Design for manufacturing, testing and sustainability
Nearly 90% of a product's lifecycle cost is determined during the design phase making early input critical to long-term success. Sunburst’s New Product Introduction (NPI) Program provides strategic guidance at the earliest stages of product development to help customers launch faster, reduce cost, and improve long term quality and manufacturability.
By collaborating closely during design, we help ensure every product is optimized for real world production, testing, and sustainability; from prototype to full scale build.
Core Focus Areas:
- Component Selection
Identify sourcing risks, avoid long lead times, and reduce costs through strategic BOM reviews. - Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Optimize layouts for smoother assembly, fewer defects, and faster production. - Design for Testability (DFT)
Ensure efficient, scalable testing with smart design decisions from the start. - Design for Sustainability
Secure long-term supply with vetted vendors, multi-source options, and lifecycle planning.
