Assessments of manufacturing readiness utilizing the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) criteria have been designed to identify and manage manufacturing risk in acquisition and during new technology development as it transitions to weapon system applications.

MRLs provide decision-makers (at all levels) with a common understanding of the relative maturity (and attendant risks) associated with manufacturing technologies, products, and processes being considered to meet DoD requirements.

The BoK can be found on the DoD MRL website at https://dodmrl.com/ or https://dodmrl.org. The MRLWG uses lessons learned, best practices in manufacturing, DoD policy updates, and real-life manufacturing expertise to continuously update and improve the MRL BoK.

This document provides an understanding of best practices for conducting assessments of manufacturign readiness using the MRL criteria. It is intended for those tasked with conducting MRAs, and for program managers, system engineers, manufacturing managers, and managers of technology development and pre-systems acquisition technology ...

MRLs are quantitative measures used to assess the maturity of a given technology, component or system from a manufacturing perspective. They are used to provide decision makers at all levels with a common understanding of the relative maturity and attendant risks associated with manufacturing technologies, products, and processes being considered.

Oct 1, 2022 · Assessments of manufacturing maturity using the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) criteria have been designed to identify and manage manufacturing risk in acquisition, decreasing the risk of technology transition for new technology to weapon system applications.

The DoD’s Manufacturing Technology Program keeps an up-to-date website, dodmrl.com that features the latest MRL Deskbook, interactive users guide, criteria matrix (for the 10 MRLs), government and company MRL expert contact lists, available tools …

This article explains a method to combine Technology Readiness Level (TRL) (See Appendix, Table A-1), Integration Readiness Level (IRL), and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) (See Appendix, Table A-2) into a single metric—System Readiness Level (SRL)—that can provide guidance to decision makers during the technology maturation process.

• Identify current MRL/target MRL • Identify key factors where manufacturing readiness falls short of target MRL – Define driving issues • Identify programs and plans to reach target MRL • Assess type and significance of risk to cost, schedule or performance • Next …
