Assessment Overview
Objectively gauge where you stand - and guide your smart manufacturing journey
The assessment framework was created to objectively gauge the level of adoption of smart manufacturing by an enterprise and to guide companies on their smart journey. It is hosted on the CII Smart Manufacturing platform and is available without charge - companies need to register before taking the self-assessment.
The framework
The CII Smart Manufacturing Maturity Model
The assessment is powered by an end-to-end maturity model developed by CII in consultation with senior industry experts from leading organisations such as Rockwell Automation, Tata, Siemens, Bosch, Blue Star, IISc, IITs, and others. The model incorporates global manufacturing maturity frameworks while being contextualised to the Indian manufacturing ecosystem, with a specific focus on the needs and challenges of MSMEs.

Measurement
How the assessment is scored
- 49 key elements spread across 5 broad functional categories.
- Each element is rated on depth of use of smart technologies and tools on a 5-point scale.
- Each element is also rated on the scale of deployment of existing approaches on a 5-point scale.
- Clear descriptions assist easy self-assessment; questions not applicable to a sector can be passed.
Outputs
What you receive
- Criteria-wise scoresOutcomes presented criteria-parameter wise across the five functional categories.
- Operations sub-criteriaOperations has sub-criteria, so scores are also presented at that level.
- Scaled out of 100Scores are presented on a scale of 100 as maximum.
Deployment
How the model is being deployed
Hosted self-assessment
Hosted on the CII Smart Manufacturing platform and available without charge. A company needs to register to take the self-assessment.
Transition support
