NPI & First Production

Support where most launches stumble: the transfer to production reality.

I work with engineering and operations to close the gap between a working prototype and a repeatable build process.

Pre-production

DFM and assembly risk closure

Identify what will fail at volume and update design intent before pilot batches multiply defects.

Pilot builds

Issue triage and iteration control

Run structured defect tracking and prioritize fixes based on production impact, not noise.

Ramp

Supplier-facing execution

Align on tolerances, process windows, and checkpoints so quality and throughput improve together.

What I deliver

NPI action plan, pilot build readiness checklist, critical-to-quality risk list, and weekly decision logs so engineering and operations stay aligned.

Engagement window

Usually 1–3 months around pilot and early production milestones. Can be extended if launch scope changes materially.

Launching first production in the next quarter?

Send your target timeline and biggest launch risk. I'll suggest a focused NPI support scope.
