AbstractCrucial in the design process, Technology Readiness Levels are a common form of technology maturity assessment. Studies suggest that the TRL scale can be subjective and biased. Automating the assessment can reduce human bias. This paper highlights important challenges of automation by presenting data collected on 15 technologies from the nanotechnology sector. Our findings show that, contrary to claims from the literature, patent data exists for low maturity technologies and may be useful for automation. We also found that there exists unexpected trends in data publications at TRL 2, 3 and 4.

In 2011, the European Central Bank (ECB) developed a customized information management maturity model that was subsequently applied to assess the success of the implementation of the organizational policies, processes, and technologies supporting the information management function and to identify and priorities future activities. This chapter provides an overview of the model's objectives, design process, and principles and a comparison of the sources that were used to support its design. In addition, it provides a detailed description of the model's structure, including goals, key process areas and key practices, common features, and maturity levels. Furthermore, the chapter describes the process and the tools that the authors designed to support the maturity assessment and the results obtained during the first two applications of the model.

According to integration requirements of design, process and manufacturing in railway vehicle manufacturing enterprises, an integration solution centered at material quota and key technologies are proposed, which includes the data integration technology between PDM, CAPP, FastCut/Nest, ERP on the server layer; the Data Pre-process technology for design and process integration; the automatic nesting optimization technology meeting practical production requirements; the method to calculate material quota based on nesting optimized layouts; and the sharing of general NC codes. Considering automatic nesting optimization and material quota computing, a solution for split/combination data pre-processing and post-processing is proposed and implemented. And practical production conditions are taken into account in the nesting algorithm. All these technologies and solutions support the integration centered at material quota for design, process and manufacturing.

There are three distinct functions in the product realization chain — product design, process design, and process execution; thus there are two interfaces (product design — process design; process design — process execution) rather than one (product-manufacturing). Case studies of four organizations manufacturing high-tech products in New Zealand are explored to study the organization of process design functions and success strategies. Similarities in structuring, relationships between functional groups, and the methods for product and process design implementation are investigated. De-coupling of process design functions occurs best with high volume production with stable process technology — an infrequent situation with high-tech NZ manufacturers.
