The Capability Model - Flyer
0 likes213 views
Capabilities are resources that engineers can use for product development. They allow the use of technologies to deliver product options and minimize uncertainty while maximizing productivity. Capabilities are established through research and represent installed, reliable units of technology ready for critical business use across technologies. They provide links between research, development, and specific product capabilities. A capability model shows the relationships between products, capabilities, technologies, and sciences with products being delivered functionality, capabilities being installed technologies, technologies being scaled science, and science demonstrating fundamentals.

- 1. Capability Capability Capability Capability Capability Capability Capability Capabilities limit a businesss Product Opportunities They are resources Engineers may utilise for Product Development They allow the use of a Technology to deliver Product Options They minimise Uncertainty and Risk, and maximise Productivity in the Development Process Capabilities are established by Research from the Known and Unknown-Sets Capabilities are the Link between Research and Development A Capability is an Installed Unit of Technology, such that it may be relied upon for Mission-Critical Business purposes. They are Installed: Reliable, Trusted, Predictable, Usable. They Cross Technology Boundaries (HW, SW, Optics, Multi-Chip, etc) They are NOT Product Specific ... They can be Technology Answers ...

(TRL9) Desirable, Viable, Cost-Effective, Functional, Quality Capability: Installed Technology. (TRL9) In-place in business, dependable, predictable. Ready for mission-critical use in a New Product Development. Technology: Scaled-up Science. (TRL5-9) Reliable and productive enough for use in a real Product or its Process (Not yet installed). May be New-to-All, or New-to-You (others may have this as a Capability) Science: Demonstrated Fundamentals. (TRL1-4) Predictable encapsulated fundamental behaviour. New to the community. Specific Product Capabilities Technologies Sciences Technologies (old or new) only offer Product Options ... They do not always translate to better business The increased risk may exceed the benefit May be valuable for one business, but not another Technology Readiness Levels are not the whole story Science is never ready for mission-critical use ... Its is too risky in cost, time and performance Always a long way from commercial exploitation Product is not a linear development of Science Research has a fundamental role in making Science and Technology useable by Business Successful Products fund the whole ecosystem
