Detailed Process Comparison: Before and After AI
1. Current State (As-Is): The 180-Day Delay
The NPI process was sequential with high friction at handoff points between R&D, Marketing, and Manufacturing, resulting in an average Time-to-Market of 180 days.
| R&D to Production Handoff | Production could not start until R&D documentation was manually approved and verified, leading to extensive waiting periods. | 20-30 days of delay due to conflicting priorities and waiting for sign-offs. |
2. Future State (To-Be): The 117-Day AI Optimized Blueprint
The Dragon1 AI BPMN Process Architect generated the Future State model, implementing parallel development streams and objective, AI-driven stage-gates, achieving a Time-to-Market of 117 days (a 35% reduction).
| Concurrent Readiness Paths | R&D final testing, Marketing campaign creation, and Manufacturing setup run simultaneously after the initial design lock. | Eliminated 4 weeks of sequential waiting time. |
