An Introduction to New Product Introduction (NPI)

An Introduction to New Product Introduction

Many companies would benefit from an improved New Product Introduction method

This training introduces an agile NPI method building on and modernising the reliable gateway review NPI method employed globally.

OUR COURSE

WHAT IS NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION?

From idea to market

The New Product Introduction process is a multi-step plan that takes your product from initial idea to market. However, it is more elaborate than a to-do list. An NPI process is carefully managed by a team of stakeholders and managers who track progress and perform frequent assessments at different stages to ensure the project is moving in the right direction.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY



I am currently on my first run of ladder in management in the manufacturing industry, I found the root cause analysis session a great tool to have learnt, the learning was delivered in a confident approach, and the content was well thought out and structured and no question was overlooked, not only did I get an insight into problem solving, but a lesson in how to deliver in a confident and professional approach without being too ambiguous.

Tunley Engineering is a great way to sharpen any engineering team, whether they are part of a massive corporate structure or a smaller team. Their method of instruction strays far from the dry methods of old, in which you are simply spoken to and not engaged. With Tunley Engineering, the teaching process is much more interactive with lessons being structured more like workshops than university-style classrooms.

We hired Tunley to help debug our engineering processes and to improve delivery time for our custom engineered systems. William Beer took the time to do a thorough survey of our existing engineering activities and was able to quickly understand the nature of our processes. He recommended changes that were easy to implement and which gave us immediate positive results.
