What Is A Manufacturing
Readiness Assessment?
?An MRA is
每 An assessment of a program*s readiness to manufacture
and produce its intended design
每 A tool to develop and implement:
? Manufacturing Maturating Plans (MMPs)
? Business Strategies
每 Effects of Design Changes (Planned Upgrades, Spiral)
每 Pricing Agreements (Long Term vs. Single Lot)
每 Capital Investment Plans (Contractor and/or Government)
?An MRA

Why Manufacturing Readiness?
Manufacturing & Industrial Base Challenge
? Consensus among Congress, OSD, CSAF, GAO:
※Advanced weapon systems cost too much, take too long to field, and are too expensive to
sustain§
? GAO study of 54 weapons programs:
每
每
Core set of 26 programs: RDT&E costs up by 42% ($42.7B total) and schedule slipped
by 20% (2.5 years on average)
Characteristics of successful programs (GAO):
?
?
Mature technologies, stable designs, production processes in control
S&T organization responsible for maturing technologies, rather than program or
product development manager
? Products made by immature manufacturing processes generally:

Technology Readiness Levels
(TRLs)
Provide a common language and widely-understood
standard for:
? Assessing the performance maturity of a technology and
plans for its future maturation
? Understanding the level of performance risk in trying to
transition the technology into a weapon system application
TRLs leave major transition questions unanswered:
?
?
?
?
Is the technology producible?
What will these cost in production?
Can these be made in a production environment?
Are key materials and components available?
