Shadowing Practice: The Three NPI Phases Explained - Learn English Speaking with Video

1
Then you say you start your NPI process
2
and this is comprised of three phases and after
3
that it's really ready for ongoing mass production and ramp up of the volumes, right?
4
Correct.
5
So what are these three phases?
6
So the three phases are engineering validation, design validation, and production validation.
7
Some people, a lot of people are familiar with these terms
8
but they're not familiar with what the actual meaning is and how you qualify from one phase to the next.
9
So a lot of people have misinterpreted this to mean that you've got three chances to build it and get it right.
10
That's not correct.
11
Each phase has different meaning.
12
So the engineering validation you want to prove out from an engineering point of view that your tooling is good, your enclosures are good, your PCBA is good,
13
that your features are all present and that your device is working as intended.
14
At the end of an ADT build you should sit in a room with all of your engineers
15
and all of them can say that their functions have been complete and this product is performing as expected.
16
So the output is not only a prototype that's much closer to what's intended
17
because it is made this time with the same manufacturing process as it is intended, it also comes on the supply chain side with a BOM,
18
so you already started to select the component suppliers, you've been working very closely with obviously also the assembly and testing supplier.
19
On the technical side you've gone into all the details of the design, the mechanical design, engineering design, the firmware design and so on.
20
Is that correct?
21
That's correct, yes.
22
So that EBT part that you've built should be fully representative of your supply chain and your processes.

How to practise with this video
- Listen to the whole video once without speaking and note the words you do not know.
- Start at 0.75× speed, shadow it sentence by sentence, then go back to normal speed once it feels easy.
- Record yourself and compare with the original, paying attention to words like validation, intend, supplier.
Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
