New Product Introduction (NPI)

Bridging design and manufacturing through validation, risk management, and process excellence.

Bridging Innovation and Manufacturing

At G&H, New Product Introduction (NPI) is where design meets production. We help customers transform validated prototypes into scalable, manufacturable products - ensuring that quality, compliance, and performance are built in from the very start.

Our NPI process connects engineering, production, and supply-chain teams under a single ISO 13485-compliant system, reducing risk and accelerating time-to-market for medical devices, diagnostics, and analytical instruments.

Structured for Speed, Built for Compliance

Launching a new medical device requires more than a great design - it demands a controlled, repeatable process. Our cross-functional engineers manage every phase of the transition, ensuring the product design, documentation, and manufacturing infrastructure are aligned and ready for scale.

Our NPI capabilities include:

  • Design Transfer Preparation – translation of design intent into controlled manufacturing documentation and work instructions.
  • Process Development & Validation – creation of robust, repeatable processes verified through IQ/OQ/PQ qualification.
  • Pre-production Prototype Builds – Beta builds under simulated production conditions to verify assembly methods and testing workflows.
  • Tooling & Fixture Development – in-house design of custom jigs, fixtures, and automated test equipment.
  • Supplier and Material Readiness – procurement planning, supplier qualification, and material verification for full traceability.
  • Risk and Quality Planning – FMEA, control plans, and documentation to meet ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR 820 requirements.

Accelerating Time-to-Market

By introducing manufacturing disciplines early, our NPI process reduces late-stage redesign and validation delays. We collaborate closely with your design authority - whether internal or third-party - to understand functional requirements, cost targets, and regulatory strategy before ramp-up begins.

This early alignment ensures that once design transfer occurs, all documentation, tooling, and quality controls are in place for seamless scale-up.

Integration with Production Engineering

Our Production Engineering team serves as the operational bridge between NPI and full manufacturing. They oversee process validation, operator training, andtest fixture, and instruction set meets specification and regulatory standards before volume release.
