New Product Introduction (NPI)

New Product Introduction processes can be complex and challenging due to the unique design, qualifications and specialized requirements. Origen integration of design for manufacturing, failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), supply chain and manufacturing management ensure Origen customers meet their requirement for a scalable manufactured part to meet demand.

Our expertise in various 3D printing technologies including Arcam and EOS based platforms allow for quick vetting of fit, form and function to work through engineering hurdles. At Origen, we have extensive knowledge of manufacturing with metals, composites, plastics and electromechanical.

EXAMPLES

Commercial Fuel Injector

  • 3 different materials needed to be vetted by the customer.
  • 14 days to investment cast and forge samples.
  • Completed 19-part, complex assembly in 5 days. Prototyped through EOS out of 17-4 stainless which closed a $75M capital raise.
  • Testing completed in less than a week.

Spray
Tip

  • Prototyped through EOS using Cobalt in 4 days.
  • Passed level 4 FPI and Xray in 2 days
  • Airflow Compliant
  • Tooling built in parallel to reduce lead time

Oil and
Gas Assembly

  • Customer wanted to convert from steel to plastic
  • Complete breakdown & prints in 14 days
  • Prototype Completed in 14 Days
  • Complete part & supply chain sourced in 30 days

Re-Design Product Engineering

As customers seek to reduce cost, maintain stability of a product, reduce risk or expand their supply chain are often limited by the scope of their business operation. Origen’s Re-Design Product Engineer (RPE) expands our client’s scope of service and capability through our multi disciplined engineering, manufacturer and supply contracted clients while creating a backbone of your production process.

Utilizing NDT/DT testing suppliers to work through all specifications during the prototype stages, Origen is able to scrutinize the design and work directly with our supply chain to produce a product that will have a smooth transition into production and testing criteria.

EXAMPLES

Fuel
Nozzle

  • 13 Revisions on the design over 14 months.
  • Over 2500 nozzles made
  • Customer had a new design for a fuel and noise compliant fuel nozzle
  • Utilized SLA in a production environment to keep the engine lines from going down

Pilot Tip for
IGT Engine

  • Paralleled prototype with SLA and printed ceramic cores
  • Utilized EOS to provide various re-engineering of pathways
  • Customer needed quick delivery on an existing component, but needed modification of the flow passages and material change
  • Revised tooling and was in production within 60 days of the prototype

Contract Manufacturing

Origen leverages broad spectrum contract manufacturing services for early-stage product development to large complex system integration through superior engineering, manufacturing, assembly and quality management. Origen’s proven Quality Production Sphere™ (QPS) methodology provides transparent cost modeling, gold standard quality & compliance and lean manufacturing structure customers demand in this competitive market, allowing you to concentrate on innovation and expanding your business. 

Our focus is to provide our customers with the confidence that their products are efficiently and effectively developed, manufactured and delivered on time to the market.

Examples

  • Small Quantities
  • Large production & complex assembly including certification and testing
  • Engine Support Rings
  • Large OEM needed volume machining on various materials and sizes
  • Utilized 5 machine shops to offset risk, cost and lead times
  • Provided continuous support on WIP management and engineering changes
  • EDM Medical Support
  • Supplier maxed capacity on internal EDM capability
  • Utilized supply chain to provide offset and speed delivery, reduce costs and was able to support a ramp effort in less than 30 days

Supply Chain Solutions

Managing products through its entire lifecycle is critical to our customers success. Our global and regional network of contracted supplier’s provides our customers with flexibility, visibility, and responsiveness to meet their supply chain requirements. Origen’s comprehensive contracted supply network is uniquely positioned to provide cost reduction for customers in solutions such as plastic injection molding, metal injection molding, die casting, extrusion, forging, metal stamping, electro-mechanical components, and other products.

No Quote Initiative / Resourcing

Origen manages the No Quote Initiative (NQI) process within its QPS system to ensure each quote we provide our customers has met the core tenants of the QPS system, thereby providing them with the confidence that the diligence to quality, capacity, competency and cost management have been met. Our NQI is designed to provide our customers with a platform that offloads projects that may not fit within their core competencies while allowing customer expansion and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Origen’s NQI platform integrates seamlessly with the Quality Production Sphere™ (QPS) and contracted supplier base to provide our customers with a resourcing system for meeting their clients needs.

NQI
RESOURCING
BENEFITS

  • Fully Covered by NDA/NC
  • Privacy Maintained
  • Capacity constraints offloaded
  • Formal Relationship with Supplier
  • Unwanted programs will turn into Revenue
  • Increased Quote Volume
  • Quote anonymously for fit and margin between synergistic members
  • Grow quickly with new customers and geometries without the normal timeline for development

Material Solutions

Origen works with many composites ranging from Thermoplastics to Carbon Fiber providing the navigation our clients need to meet the demands of their product design. We also have extensive manufacturing experience in the metal forming, machining and fabrication processes. As proprietors of several forging, die cast, machining and fabrication companies, we’re well positioned to provide our customers with the insight, product development and production management for either New Product Introduction (NPI) or Re-Design Product Introduction (RPI).
