NPD Growth

Suppliers for new products will be required to participate in Sensata's NPD (New Product Development) program. Development of new products may take anywhere from a few months to several years. The NPD process is a highly developed and proven methodology for succesfully launching new products to meet the customer needs. Suppliers will participate in many aspects of this process. Some of these include: FMEA reviews, product desing reviews, APQP assessments, Control plan reviews, risk assessments, design validation samples, print reivews, sub-supplier reviews, capacity planning, productions trial runs (run at rate tests), PPAP's for automotive products, and launch controls
