After all of the effort hardware startups and global enterprise OEMs invest in managing the RFQ and quote process with their EMS manufacturing partners, companies want to make sure their new product (pilot) build programs launch as planned for product manufacturing, quality and test. To do this, OEM programs follow an expected pathway to meet OEM product requirements. Read: Electronics hardware startup strategy for product design and manufacturing
In summary, NPI is focused on product development and manufacturing, while NPL is focused on introducing the product to the market and creating demand for it.

What is an electronics OEM company?
The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is the brand owner, the company whose logo displays on the final product. Think: Apple, Sony, Ford, Cisco, Dell, Samsung, Lenovo, Microsoft … For example, Apple’s iPhone has the Apple logo clearly visible to users. Apple is the OEM.
Apple designs its products, but Apple outsources the majority of iPhone manufacturing production to contract electronics solutions providers – both EMS and ODM. Apple does this to leverage cost-to-scale.
