Hi there this is Renaud Angéron.

Welcome to this series on the new product introduction process.

We're going to cover some topics that come back over and over especially for electrical and or mechanical products.

Hope it's helpful.

Let's get started with video number one on the first topic.

Hi, this is Renaud Androran and I'm going to cover the pilot run before mass production of a new product.

So it's very different from looking at prototypes.

Prototypes are used to confirm the design of a new product, but they might not be made with the same components,

same methods, same equipment, same people and so on as mass production.

the pilot run is very important

when you launch production of a new product there are always some risks okay

so the idea of a short a small production run a

pilot run is to test the line test the manufacturing process

and the testing process also okay and to see the problems

and to address them until we confirm

that the process is capable of delivering the right creative products

okay to confirm assembly to come from packing to confirm some

of the fabrication also okay it's very standard across many industries PVT in consumer electronics you know phones

and things like that production trial run in automotive it's got many names let's call it pilot run

so it can also take place at the level of the component supplier okay not just assembly

if some critical components are customized

and there is a risk of quality issue it's a very

good thing to also have them do a pilot run and

if you can be on site

and monitor the scrap rate then this is really good because

if you see

that scrap rate is three percent it's very different from a

scrap rate of 20% where the component supplier might tell you

hey I need to raise the price quite a bit okay

the number of pieces most often is somewhere between 20 and 100

but this really varies widely it's an iterative process you might

not get everything right the first time actually most probably you

will not it's like the prototyping process where you make a prototype

and then another one another one another one another one until you have a nice prototype

that looks alike functions alike and and is okay to pass certifications

and so on same idea here okay some sometimes one run is okay

if there's no serious outstanding issues okay now here are some

best practices same conditions as mass production as I say same method same people same

equipment and so on same testing equipment or

so same inspectors same methods as you see the problems work on preventive actions okay now

and if possible actually before the pilot run already think about it do some operator training and

so on okay as much as you can after the run

hopefully you have a whiteboard just next to the assembly line or the fabrication equipment with some issues.

Where does it come from what to do to avoid it next time who is supposed to do what by

when okay very simple very low-tech but very powerful

if you really follow up and then well this is more for automotive

or some consumer electronics where you have to ramp up very fast or put it under stress hey

we're gonna make 50 every 10 minutes okay now let's try

again with 80 okay we kept up at 70 now I made some changes let's aim for 100 and

so on okay then this really gives you an idea about

the capacity of your process otherwise you start mass production

but you don't know

if you're gonna be able to ship something after 10 days

15 days 20 days this might make a very big difference in the end.

Now preventive actions, including logistics, assembly, testing, packing, final inspection.

You need to plan and prepare for the production process if possible before the pilot run.

Operator training is very important.

You need to look at the problems and the improvements.

And then as I said based on something like this, you need to manage the issues,

communicate about it, make sure everybody understand what what what happens and maybe you will find that

hey incoming QC should have cut cut it up

but they did not

and actually 25% of this specific part maybe the casing have

problems well what do we do with it let's do we

sort it out do we send back to the supplier and and so on okay Benefits, lower risk.

Lower risk, that's very, very important.

If you go into mass production and then you find out

that there's some serious issues

that might mean a lot of rework a lot of scrapped material that's very expensive

and it also means much later shipment okay so

if you want to save time do things step by step eliminate issues before you ramp up

and for customers obviously better quality products because

if the products are good the first time without any rework

well that's that's the best that's the best scenario okay

and again this might save you time it might save you time to slow down a little bit

and do a pilot run and a key problem

that I should mention is

that in China a lot of suppliers don't like the idea

of pilot run they don't like it at all maybe they don't believe

that your volumes will be very high first

but also they don't really want to spend a lot of

time doing engineering work they just want to release the products on the shop floor

and get the manufacturing staff to figure out a way to

make it in a lot of Chinese factories that's what we see not very good

but that's that's the way they like to manage sometimes they

tend to be a bit too optimistic also they don't think

that there will be a lot of risks and

if they pay the operators by the piece obviously the operators

don't want to work on a very small batch hundred pieces okay now

if you're the customer it's your money okay make it a very clear imperative from the start

and don't give them the choice don't give them the option to say no basically

that's it I hope that was helpful don't hesitate to comment ask any questions

本課的詞彙與口語要點

這節 C1 級別的口語課以影片“NPI Process 1: Why A Pilot Run Before Mass Production Is Very Useful”為素材。影片中反覆出現的詞有：pilot, product, production, process, issue。這段影片共有 93 個句子、1083 個單詞可供跟讀。講話部分時長為 7:19。說話人語速平穩，每分鐘約 148 個詞，很適合跟讀。 89% 的單詞屬於英語最常用的 3,000 詞，其餘的詞建議在練習前先學一下。

需要注意的發音

說話人用了 17 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 don't, gonna, we're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。

“sh” 和 “zh” 音: fabrication /fæbɹɪˈkeɪʃən/, shipment /ˈʃɪpmənt/, certification /ˌsɜː.tɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/
長單詞——注意重音位置: fabrication /fæbɹɪˈkeɪʃən/, automotive /ˌɔtəˈmoʊtɪv/, iterative /ˈɪt(ə)ɹətɪv/, imperative /ɪmˈpɛɹ.ə.tɪv/, optimistic /ˌɒptɪˈmɪstɪk/

中文母語者容易讀錯的音：

/v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: preventive /pɹɪˈvɛntɪv/, automotive /ˌɔtəˈmoʊtɪv/, iterative /ˈɪt(ə)ɹətɪv/, imperative /ɪmˈpɛɹ.ə.tɪv/
詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: prototype /ˈpɹəʊtətaɪp/, scrap /ˈskɹæp/, preventive /pɹɪˈvɛntɪv/, rework /ˈɹiːwɜː(ɹ)k/, automotive /ˌɔtəˈmoʊtɪv/
/æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: scrap /ˈskɹæp/, fabrication /fæbɹɪˈkeɪʃən/, batch /bæt͡ʃ/

如何用這段影片練習

先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。
用正常速度逐句跟讀，每句重複到你的節奏與說話人一致為止。
錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 prototype, supplier, scrap 這類單詞。

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
