The slide outlines key NPI rack program results, including 100% launches on committed build schedules from EVT/DVT/PVT to MP, achieving ≤2 critical hardware re-spins per program, and completing design freeze on or before target dates. It also highlights a 30% reduction in post-release rack HW ECOs compared to prior cycles.

Key Results

• Launch 100% NPI rack programs on committed build schedules (EVT/DVT/PVT → MP)
• Achieve ≤2 critical hardware re-spins per NPI program
• Reduce post-release rack HW ECOs by 30% vs prior cycles
• Complete design freeze on or before target date for all NPI racks

The slide "Measurable Targets" outlines key performance stats for NPI rack programs, including 100% on-schedule launches, design freeze on time for all assemblies, ≤2 re-spins per program for critical hardware, and a 30% reduction in post-release ECOs for rack hardware. These metrics emphasize efficiency and reliability in hardware development and deployment.

Measurable Targets

• 100%: On-Schedule Launches

All NPI rack programs on time

• ≤2: Re-Spins per Program

The NPI Program Timeline outlines four key phases: EVT (4-6 weeks, owned by Hardware Lead) for prototype build and initial validation; DVT (6-8 weeks, Engineering Mgr) for design verification and fixes; PVT (4-6 weeks, Operations Lead) for pilot production and process validation; and MP (ongoing, Program Mgr) for mass production with limited re-spins. This workflow ensures structured progression from design freeze preparation to full-scale manufacturing readiness.

The slide "Path to Success" emphasizes executing with quality by achieving 100% on-time launches, ≤2 re-spins, 30% fewer ECOs, and on-time design freezes, prioritizing stability over speed. It calls for committing to excellence to reduce rework and deliver stable racks.

Path to Success

**Execute with Quality.

Hit KRs: 100% on-time launches, ≤2 re-spins, 30% fewer ECOs, on-time design freezes.

Speed matters, stability first.**

Commit to excellence – reduce rework, deliver stable racks.
