“…TRL measures the extent to which a technology is suitable to be placed in a real operational environment. This is an instrument to reduce the risk of failure when a product will be produced [14]- [17]. An outline of the TRL scale is presented in Figure 6.…”

Although simple, removing the front fork telescopic (TFF) seal on a motorcycle without special service tools (SST) can cause work accidents for mechanics and loss for consumers and workshops. Therefore, product development research has been carried out to design a seal remover for TFF. Then, a TRL measurement using Techno-meter was done on the prototype that has been developed. A quick measurement by Techno-meter shows that the prototype has reached level 6 (intermediate), where the prototype has been demonstrated/tested in a relevant environment. In conclusion, through continued work (reviewing products, improvising, and testing prototypes on a larger scale), this prototype promises to be mass-produced as downstream of research products to the market.

“…The use of technology readiness levels and manufacturing readiness levels has been accepted technology and engineering management practice for some time [12]. These levels are still being developed, and recently, a tenth technology readiness level was added by NASA [13]. A summary of the accepted technology readiness levels used at present is shown in Figure 2.…”

Rapidly Arriving Futures: Future Readiness for Industry 4.0

The future being shaped by Industry 4.0 has arrived. Tools are available that anticipate the future, approximate it, estimate it, and select a preferred future; but do we know how to make disruptive futures part of our business and lives? Building on technology readiness levels and manufacturing readiness levels, future readiness levels and a future readiness index are suggested in this paper. The future readiness levels (FRL) are based on readiness at the capability levels of technology, behaviour, event, and future thinking. A future readiness index (FRI) is then determined, based on the entire future thinking space (technology, behaviour, events, and capability to do future thinking). Once the FRL and FRI are known, it will become clear what strategic interventions are required to thrive in a preferred future. The existing and desired situations in future readiness are compared, and the gaps are addressed. This approach provides a tool for the internal monitoring and evaluation of the state of the organisation to remain sustainable and competitive in a future that is fast arriving; to compare organisations competitively in a similar cluster; to benchmark at industry level; and ultimately to have the potential to measure the future readiness of nations.

“…-Lifecycle aspects are not considered in the transition to operation; TRLNASA 9, does not give any further information about the systems expected life cycle (Straub, 2015). -Unorganized expansion of TRLs to adapt the system for consumer market R&D processes has been attempted (Straub, 2015;Hicks, Larsson, Culley, & Larsson, 2009). Some, such as the EU has also included TRL 0 (Schild, 2014).…”

“…The method was later expanded to include up to 9 levels (Mankins, 1995) which is the currently prevalent model. An additional 10th and 11th level have been recommended in order to make the technology readiness assessment (TRA) commercially available (Straub, 2015;Hicks, et al, 2009). Most recently, Austin et al (2017) described application of Bayesian networks to the TRA.…”

Technology Readiness Level (TRL) is used to evaluate the maturity of the Critical Technology Elements (CTE) in a project or program and indicates an assumed level of the remaining technical risks for each independent technology. This paper presents results of a literature review exploring the diversity of definitions applied to TRL. Survey results explore whether and how TRLs are used. Based on these results the authors assess to what degree TRL evaluations are suitable for organizations without separately trained and skilled readiness assessment personnel.
