Product Lifecycle
From state-of-the-art technology to robust support systems, explore the elements that set you up for success:
Concept
Prototype
NPI / Ramp
Production
Product Retirement
Concept
The first stage of your Product Lifecycle requires necessary support from your EMS. OEMs often lack supplier guidance and input – leading to a lack of communication and understanding. Fusion is here to ensure you have everything you need for this crucial phase, through:
- Educational DFM and DFT seminars
- Design review
- New technology support
- Custom component supplier strategy
- Risk analysis
- Robust processes (e.g., engineering meetings, supplier input, and alternate component sources)
Prototype
Our standardized processes make prototyping worry-free: with Fusion, quotes are quick, deadlines are met, and you’ll always get a quick turnaround on builds. Plus, we’re willing and ready to provide rework and modification support if you need it. You can expect:
- Early detection of design issues
- Streamlined quoting (we quote prototypes in less than 48 hours)
- Transparent cost disclosure
- Engineering support
- Quick turnarounds for time-sensitive builds
- Flexible scheduling
- Proactive status updates, quick response, and confirmation of ship / delivery dates
- Quality risk assessments in every step of product lifecycle
NPI / Ramp

Production
Production is the most pivotal stage in any program, so quality and on-time delivery are top-of-mind.

When it comes to production, Fusion provides:
- Proactive supply chain management
- Material assurance planning
- Component life status monitoring
- Collaborative inventory strategy
- Information and transparency with regular business review meetings
Product Retirement
In the final phase of your Product’s Lifecycle, it’s important to know that you’re in good hands. We’ll support your product from cradle to grave with the necessary tools and processes to ensure successful delivery – every time. As part of this commitment, we provide:
- Excess materials minimization
