Production Readiness Review Process for Major Defense Acquisition Programs.

We are providing this final memorandum report for your information and use. System acquisition program managers use the production readiness review PRR process to assess a contractors readiness to transition a design into production. The PRR is performed during Phase II, Engineering and Manufacturing Development EMD, and assesses product design, industrial resources, production engineering and planning, materials and purchased parts, quality assurance, logistics, and contract administration. Program managers report the results of the PRR concerning production risk to the milestone decision authority before the Milestone III, Production Approval, decision as part of the Integrated Program Summary.
