Docent is a tool to assist you in producing an evidence-based assessment to determine your Manufacturing Readiness Level. The Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) is a 1-10 scale to determine how mature your manufacturing processes are for meeting levels of quantity and quality. MRLs were developed by the Department of Defense, and is considered to be an industry best practice.

Docent was developed in partnership with MxD with financial support and expertise from the Air Force Research Lab and Defense-wide Manufacturing Science & Technology (DMS&T) Program.
