New Product Introduction (NPI) – Development-to-Production Transfer

Industrialize the entire product — from engineering data and BOM to tooling, validation and serial production.

Fibernet helps transform approved designs and prototypes into controlled, repeatable and production-ready manufacturing processes.
Our NPI approach brings together manufacturing engineering, supply-chain preparation, tooling, assembly documentation,
production-intent builds, testing and validation — creating one continuous path from product development to ongoing production.

From Development to Manufacturing

Turn Engineering Intent into a Production-Ready Manufacturing System

A successful prototype proves the product can work. Industrialization proves it can be manufactured consistently.

Fibernet converts engineering requirements into a practical manufacturing environment by defining how the product will be sourced,
assembled, inspected, tested and documented. The objective is to identify manufacturing risks before they become production problems
and to establish a repeatable process before serial manufacturing begins.

Everything Required to Prepare Your Product for Repeatable Manufacturing

Manufacturing engineering

01

Manufacturing Engineering

We translate product requirements into a practical production methodology built around repeatability, control and manufacturing execution.

  • Manufacturing process definition
  • Assembly sequence development
  • Production readiness review
  • Manufacturing risk identification
  • Workstation and line planning
  • Assembly process optimization
BOM and supply-chain readiness

02

BOM & Supply-Chain Readiness

We prepare the materials and supply-chain structure required to move from engineering BOM to production execution.

  • Manufacturing BOM preparation
  • Component and material review
  • Approved Vendor List (AVL) planning
  • Long Lead Item (LLI) identification
  • Procurement preparation
  • Component availability assessment
Assembly and test tooling

03

Assembly & Test Tooling

Dedicated fixtures, jigs and manufacturing aids are developed around the actual assembly and test process.

  • Assembly fixtures
  • Test fixtures
  • Production jigs
  • Positioning and alignment tools
  • Manufacturing aids
  • 3D-printed tooling and prototypes
Production-intent build and validation

04

Production-Intent Build & Validation

We validate the manufacturing process using the intended materials, tooling, documentation and production methodology.

  • Identify assembly issues
  • Verify manufacturing documentation
  • Validate tooling and test processes
  • Identify production bottlenecks
  • Reduce manufacturing risk before scale-up
The goal is not simply to transfer a design. It is to establish a manufacturing process that can reproduce the product consistently.
Quality & Production Control

Build Quality into the Manufacturing Process

Quality should be defined before production starts. During NPI, Fibernet helps translate product requirements into measurable
inspection, acceptance and test criteria that can be executed on the production floor.

Incoming inspection requirements
Component acceptance criteria
In-process inspection points
Assembly verification
Functional test requirements
Final inspection criteria
Quality checkpoints
Traceability requirements, where applicable
Manufacturing Documentation

Convert Engineering Knowledge into Controlled Production Instructions

A scalable manufacturing process should not depend on tribal knowledge. We help create the documentation needed to transfer engineering intent
to production teams clearly and consistently.

  • Manufacturing BOM
  • Assembly Work Instructions
  • Manufacturing process definitions
  • Test procedures
  • Inspection criteria
  • Tooling requirements
  • Manufacturing sequence
  • Quality checkpoints
  • Workstation requirements
Why Fibernet

Industrialize the Complete Product — Not Just One Assembly

For complex products, manufacturing readiness depends on how electronics, connectivity, mechanics, tooling, testing and documentation work together.
Fibernet approaches NPI as a whole-system industrialization process.

Whole-System Manufacturing Perspective

Manufacturing engineering is performed around the complete product and its production flow — not only individual parts or assemblies.

Engineering Where Production Happens

Fixtures, workstations, assembly procedures and test processes are developed around the actual manufacturing environment.

Supply Chain as Part of Industrialization

BOM, AVL and long lead items are addressed during production preparation rather than after the process has already been defined.

Production-Intent Validation

The intended manufacturing methodology can be tested before ongoing production begins, exposing issues earlier.

Continuity into Serial Production

Once the process is validated, the same manufacturing organization can continue into serial production, reducing another transfer stage.

Our NPI Process

A Structured Path from Engineering Transfer to Serial Manufacturing

One coordinated workflow from product data to a validated production environment.

1

Engineering Review

Review drawings, BOMs, specifications and product requirements from a manufacturing perspective.

2

Manufacturing Readiness

Prepare manufacturing BOM, procurement requirements, AVL planning and long lead items.

3

Process Engineering

Define assembly methods, tooling, fixtures, workstation requirements and production flow.

4

Quality Planning

Establish inspection points, test requirements and product/component acceptance criteria.

5

Production-Intent Build

Build using the intended production methodology, materials, documentation and tooling.

6

Process Validation

Verify manufacturing steps, tooling, documentation, inspection and testing.

7

Production-Line Setup

Prepare the manufacturing environment for repeatable and controlled execution.

8

Serial Manufacturing

Transition the validated production process into ongoing manufacturing.

NPI Deliverables

More Than a Product Transfer — A Production-Ready Manufacturing Package

The objective is to leave the NPI stage with a controlled manufacturing baseline that supports repeatable production.

Manufacturing Package

Structured manufacturing information prepared for production execution.

Manufacturing BOM

Materials organized for production and procurement requirements.

Assembly Work Instructions

Clear manufacturing instructions that reduce dependency on individual operator knowledge.

Tooling & Fixtures

Dedicated manufacturing aids designed around repeatable assembly and testing.

Quality & Acceptance Criteria

Defined inspection and verification requirements for controlled manufacturing.

Validated Production Process

A manufacturing methodology verified before ongoing serial production.

We don’t just build the prototype.
We build the process that repeatedly builds the product.
