This session is about uncovering and reducing product development risks from many issues, including those that are often invisible to innovators until they derail a startup business.  The Manufacturing Readiness Levels approach enables new product developers to efficiently identify, plan and execute the next steps required on the path to volume production. 

The presenters will provide information about using the “Manufacturing Readiness Levels” methodology to allow new product teams and inventors to objectively evaluate and execute their development progress from concept stage to controlled mass-production at market scale.  Access to web-based tools, additional informational materials and templates to assist with advancing manufacturing readiness will also be made available to session attendees along with connections to manufacturing and financial resources in New York State that can assist new product teams that use the methodology.
