Use & Relationship
The Assessment of Manufacturing Risk and Readiness report contains an identification of the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) of program/system technologies, manufacturing risks associated with those technologies at the time of the assessment, and the strategy for mitigation of those risks.
a. The Manufacturing Maturation Plan (MMP) identifies the steps and resources required to mitigate program/system manufacturing risks during development and implementation.
b. This Data Item Description contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in the contract.
Preparation Instructions
1GeneralThe Assessment of Manufacturing Risk and Readiness Report shall be in either an interim report or final report format as specified in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL).
2FormatThe contractor will determine the format for the Assessment of Manufacturing Risk and Readiness Report (text or annotated briefing). Format typically remains the same unless effective presentation would be degraded. The report shall be searchable with Microsoft Office or Adobe products.
3ContentThe Manufacturing Risk and Readiness Assessment report shall include:
3.1Manufacturing Risk Assessment
3.1.1A description of the technology, component, subsystemor system that was assessed; key objectives of the development, and discussion of the current state of the art
3.1.2A discussion of the companies responsible for thetechnologies that were assessed
3.1.3Assessment team members
3.1.4Dates and locations(s) of development/production site visit(s)
3.1.5Description of the manufacturing processes on each subsystemsystem, or the assessed technologies
3.1.6MRL ranking for each assessed technology based onMRL Criteria Matrix of nine MRL threads from www.dodmrl.com
3.1.7Identification of manufacturing readiness shortfalls from target MRLincluding key factors/drivers
3.1.8The degree of potential risk that each posesto program success and the consequences of failure. [Note: A Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) matrix is one possible method to identify program risks and consequences.] As a minimum, the risk assessment should include cost, schedule, and performance risk.
3.2Manufacturing Maturation Plan (MMP)Only if target maturity level is not reached
3.2.1Assessment of potential solutions (options) and benefits/consequencesof each option
3.2.2Preferred maturation plan with schedule (MRL timeline)and funding requirements
3.2.3Key milestones for each solution approach
3.2.4The latest that an alternative approach can betaken (technology insertion date)
3.2.5Funding status to implement MMP
3.2.6Required actions (what will be done, bywhom, and by when)
3.2.7Prototype or manufacturing qualification article requirements/required tests
3.2.8Description of test environment relationship to manufacturingenvironment
3.2.9Threshold performance requirements
