Definition	The Manufacturing Readiness Review (MRR) is held as such after the Pilot Build step. In other instances, Manufacturing Readiness is addressed as part of the Technical Reviews (PDR, CDR, Alpha and Beta Readiness Review, FDR) which are held during the development of a new product.  The main objective of the MRR is to assess whether the manufacturing process is ready to proceed to volume production
Questions	Assessment of current status  Has DFM been performed and taken into consideration at product design level?  Is the Manufacturing Process able to support the product performance objectives?  Production process flow  Technological challenges and current status (TVs, BGA, ASIC, PCB)  Test Vehicles challenges and results (emphasis on predicted performance)  Cards main features (Statistics on the Assembly, types of components, PCB, special process requirements)  Associated time and yields for the first 3 months in production  Reliability plan  Quality Plan (Tools, Reports and Targets by means of ARR, DOA and Yields  Is the Contract Manufacturer capable of supporting the Manufacturing Process?  Status of last build  Sub-contractor responsiveness and support  Main issues and issue resolution  Actual results vs predictions  Assessment of Fast Turn-Around Prototype Process  Risks  Are the cost elements in line with the predictions?  Forecast of NREs (Test Equipment, Assembly tools, PCB tools, Trails)  BOM, Material Margin, Assembly, Test and Standard Cost  Cost of manual additions/deletions (ECOs)?  Testing Readiness  Has DFT been performed and taken into consideration at design level?  Are the testing scheme and process of introduction for the next builds defined?  Are the testing scheme and process for the full production (including debug tools) defined?  Have the testing resource been allocated?  What is the status of ICT fixtures, Burn In and System test fixtures design  What Test Equipment do we need in order to complete the development of our tests?  Supply-Chain  Have the long Lead Items List (sorted by lead time in weeks and by cost range) been identified?  What is the Strategic Components status (ASICs, PCB, single source)?  Have the cost reduction opportunities been identified and leveraged?  Readiness for Volume Production  Is the Product Forecast ready (Quantities per Quarter)?  Is the Product Release plan defined and approved (Time Table of the coming main mile stones, Product Tree and Shippable Configurations)?  Is Manufacturing / Contract Manufacturer ready to 1st Production Build?  Are all product components available to start 1st Production Build?  Are resources and equipment available?
Input	Marketing  MRD (remains a living document after the Planning & Specification Stage Review but with limited changes expected)  Service  Serviceability objectives  Product Service Plan  R&D  Engineering Prototypes  Physical engineering prototypes  Board tested and S/W package verified  R&D Test  Results of all defined Engineering tests according to test plan  System test results  Bug list  Manufacturing  Delivery of Pilot units to Atrica  Pilot Build report including Final assembly & test yields  Process validation documents for Manufacturability and Testability - Process Readiness  Manufacturing Test  Updated test S/W version (also made available to CM)  Production test equipment updated after modifications  Materials  List of qualified vendors  Finance  Estimates of product GM in production (on a per component basis)
