Introducing a new product to your manufacturing line requires careful coordination across engineering, quality, production, and training teams. This **Manufacturing New Product Introduction (NPI) Checklist** template helps you systematically validate every critical element before full-scale production begins.

Built for manufacturing operations managers, quality engineers, and production supervisors, this form guides you through the four key phases of NPI: design validation, process validation, equipment installation verification, and operator training completion. Each section includes detailed checkpoints to ensure nothing falls through the cracks during the transition from prototype to production.

Whether you're bringing a new SKU online, launching a product variant, or implementing design changes, this checklist creates a single source of truth for your readiness assessment. Use conditional logic to capture additional details when issues arise, and integrate with project management tools using [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to automatically route approvals, notify stakeholders, and keep your production schedule on track.

Paperform's calculation engine lets you track completion percentages across validation stages, while submission data flows directly into your quality management system or internal databases. For manufacturing teams managing multiple product launches, this template ensures consistency, compliance, and accountability across every introduction—helping you reduce rework, minimize production delays, and maintain the quality standards your customers expect.
       Built for growing businesses, trusted by bigger ones.   Trusted by 500K+ business owners and creators, and hundreds of millions of respondents.     ![Capterra - 4.8 out of 5](/images/capterra-st.jpg)
