Engineering services project value over 10 months

The challenge

The manufacturing site needed to transition from the Varipulse platform to the next-generation Isopulse platform. The program required complete manufacturing line conversion, equipment validation, documentation readiness, and production transfer while minimizing operational risk and protecting launch timelines.

Objectives

  • Coordinate manufacturing line conversion from Varipulse to Isopulse
  • Validate and prepare high-value manufacturing assets for production
  • Govern technical documentation and regulatory readiness
  • Support production transfer, ramp-up planning, and launch continuity

BEPC's role

BEPC provided engineering project management and 11 engineering resources across staff engineering, senior engineering, and validation engineering roles to support the complete NPI process over approximately 10 months.

Scope & approach

Coordinated manufacturing line transformation and equipment deployment
Supported equipment qualification and validation execution
Managed documentation governance and cross-functional readiness
Supported production transfer, ramp-up stabilization, and regulatory readiness

The team combined cross-functional project governance, equipment validation, documentation control, manufacturing readiness reviews, and production-transfer management to keep the NPI program aligned with commercialization goals.

Outcomes

The project validated and prepared approximately $33M in manufacturing assets, enabled an estimated $7.5M in annual revenue through manufacturing readiness, and supported a 10-month engineering services engagement valued at $13.66M MXN.
