Our VNPI process also involves the proto/pre-pilot and pilot testing of hardware, firmware, software and manufacturing build and test process. Cross-functional teams must agree on product outcomes which start with checklists from NPI to manufacturing production. These checklists assess the specifications, compliance, infrastructure, build readiness, test readiness, production readiness, training and knowledge transfer.
As we serve the largest customers in the world, we value early engagement with customers and vendors, as well as internal cross-functional teams, to ensure a smooth, but swift, NPI process. Technology discussions between internal business groups are valued as it helps solidify a solid foundation for product success. Cross-functional efforts during the product ideation phase mitigate risks and a dedicated NPI team, facility, and infrastructure are a basis to execute projects in a fast-paced environment. Customer satisfaction is gauged through customer success. With a focus on product innovation, Hyve’s dynamic VNPI team is agile and prepared for on-demand changes.
