This document discusses new product development (NPD) processes and expectations. It emphasizes that companies need strong NPD teams, systems, and processes to develop new products successfully given decreasing product lifespans and increasing customer demands. Good NPD processes include quality planning, cross-functional team involvement, stage-gate controls, verification, validation, and PPAP documentation. The document then introduces GAP OSM's NPD module, which guides users through NPD following automotive industry APQP standards. It creates all required documentation and has been validated through work with major automakers. Screenshots show functions like project management, quality planning, process design, documentation, and skills assessment.

1. New Product Development

2. New Product Development
The life span of products are reducing.
Customers' need for newer models with more
features is increasing.
As such the importance of good New Product
Development (NPD) team, systems and
Process cannot be over emphasized for any
growing Company.

3. Expectations from a good
NPD Process 1/2

Designing and
Developing based
on established
APQP systems

Include Function
Study, QFD,
FMEA, Control
Plans, Process
Sheets etc.

Handling and
Completing more
projects per unit
of time.

Include studies of
Process
Capability,
Checking Aids,
Calibration and
MSA

Easy and
seamless transfer
of project to
Production

Right Fist Time

Reduction in Time
to Market

4. Expectations from a good
NPD Process 2/2

Team Activity,
wherein many
members can
work
simultaneously

Involve Cross
Functional
teams : QA, CAD,
LAB, Production
Purchase, PLM,
Toolroom, HR

Stage wise
control of Design
Documents

All verification and
Validation
activities done
and PPAP
documentation
made

Clarity in workload
sharing with
defined
accountability /
define skills
required.

Supply chain
logistics,including
Packing,
Inspection &
Movement

5. GAP OSM NPD Module

The New Product Development or the NPD
module developed by us is based on practical
hands on work experience of over 50 years.

It is based on the requirements of APQP.
Advanced product quality planning (or
APQP) is a framework of procedures and
techniques used to develop products in
industry, particularly the automotive industry. It
is quite similar to the concept of Design for Six
Sigma (DFSS).

6. GAP OSM NPD Module

It has been developed and validated over many
years based on learnings and guidance from
some of the world best Companies like : Toyota,
Honda, Mitsubishi, Denso, Asahi etc.

It guides the User thru all the required steps and
simultaneously creates all the required PPAP
documentation.
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is
used in the automotive supply chain for
establishing confidence in the production
processes and is often require to be submitted to
the customer.

share some of the activities
performed by GAP-OSM NPD
module by showing actual screen
shots.
