Abstract
When performing research, development and technological work at industrial enterprises, there is a problem in which the implementation of the latest products is accompanied by technical and economic risks leading to disruption of the life cycle stages of the new products. In order to provide a solution to the problem, the task is to improve the assessment of technological readiness and quality of new technical solutions at the design stage of new products. The objective of the research is to practically test the developed methodology for assessing the quality and technological readiness of alternative implementations of the features of new technical solutions. To solve this problem, an expert scale for assessing the technological readiness of projects has been used, as well as a multi-criteria expert method for assessing the quality indicators of alternative implementations of features of new technical solutions. The novelty of the research lies in the creation of a methodology for expert assessment of alternative implementations of features of new technical solutions, which differ from similar methods by an algorithm capable of selecting and forming a component composition of alternative implementations of new technical solutions with maximized values of technological readiness estimates and quality indicators. The research results include: a developed flowchart reflecting the procedure for assessing alternative implementations of features of new technical solutions when designing developments at an industrial enterprise; a developed form for completing expert assessments of the quality and technological readiness of alternative implementations of features of new technical solutions; a developed mathematical relationship between the quality and technological readiness indicators of alternative implementations of features of new technical solutions. The developed methodology for assessing the quality and technological readiness of alternative implementations of the features of new technical solutions has been tested using the example of an invention related to the nose fairing of a space-purpose launch vehicle. The practical significance of the research lies in improving the design quality of the latest developments.
