Omega EMS' New Product Introduction
Process Excellence with Flexibility for Any Project Size
At Omega, we believe New Product Introduction (NPI) should go beyond the typical approach of quick-turn prototype manufacturing. Our comprehensive NPI support bridges all activities related to creating a new product – by defining and managing the “right EMS solution” via trusted supplier partners and experienced management teams.
Our team will oversee and manage all parties to ensure all activities are inline with the project critical path. Using a Sr. level PM as the single point of contact you get in parallel project management coordination for on schedule performance:
- Internal layout
- Material procurement
- PCB fabrication
- Manufacturing preparation
Experienced from Concept to Production
There are many common NPI problems that can not only cause a major impact to your product development schedule but also cost you additional time and money. Some of these items may include:
- Lack of a realistic and clearly defined schedule
- Lack of schedule tracking and communication: accountability for all parties
- Unrealistic production ramp: usually results in the selection of the wrong manufacturing partner
- Small EMS players have process excellence but lack sophistication in Materials Management / Procedure & Policy
- Large EMS solutions lack flexibility and interest in smaller revenue streams creating procedural “red tape”
- Proper negotiations and pricing registration: timing is crucial
- Failure to determine test strategy / philosophy prior to layout completion
- Basic document control enforcement: part number, revision and data control
- Not pipelining material appropriately at the right time
- Not understanding the impact of ECO and design changes for product in WIP
- Building too few / too many prototypes
- Trying to transition to low cost regions prior to design stabilization
Omega EMS leverages it’s extensive project management experience to identify the critical path to your projects success and proactively prepare and plan for any potential roadblocks to ensure your schedule is met.
PCBA Layout & Engineering
Omega’s engineering team specializes in reviewing customer supplied designs, including those with advanced features such as high end materials, fine pitches below 0.4 mm, and complex structures like ELICs and blind/buried vias. We provide layout support and DFM based manufacturability input to help ensure alignment between the customer’s approved design and the fabrication process. Our collaborative approach with manufacturing promotes cost efficiency and yield optimization. All design authority remains with the customer.
Omega’s engineers are experts in reviewing technical documentation, as outlined below, and providing value added feedback prior to New Product Introduction (NPI). This helps ensure manufacturing feasibility, high yields, and excellent quality.
