Abstract

Measuring the readiness of an innovative manufacturing technology in a reliable way is of crucial importance for industrial decision making. Established readiness or maturity level models are focused on product technologies; only a few of them take into account restrictions of manufacturing in their assessment. Moreover, most models are restricted to applications within a certain industry like aerospace. Consequently, there is hardly any general model providing indicators and methods to estimate the readiness of manufacturing technologies for usage in series production. This paper presents a classification approach which has been tested using examples for series production.
