What is it?
Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) is a suite of frameworks and tools to help
manufacturers, regardless of size and industry, to start, scale and, most
importantly, sustain their manufacturing transformation. SIRI serves as a first
step to help companies identify the gaps in their adoption journey to become
smart factories for the future (Industry 4.0).
Why use it?
1. To have a Strategic Roadmap and convert into an execution plan.
2. An impactful Industry 4.0 Strategy does not start with a technology road.
3. The first stage of the Strategy is about identifying the application areas in a
structured way across your entire business, where significant impact to the
bottom line can be delivered to through Industry 4.0 by using SIRI Frame work.

4. It simplifies the abstract concept of Industry 4.0 into 16 concrete dimensions
to help companies identify where they are today and which level they want to
achieve in the short, medium and long term.
5. It helps identify the focused areas that will generate the greatest value to
companies. It drives an informed decision making and effective resource
allocation.
6. It enables companies to characterize in a standardized format across key pillars
the current level of maturity of their manufacturing plants. It identifies high
impact areas for improvement. Allows benchmarking against industry peers and
a global manufacturing community.
7. It also helps companies to produce more comprehensive proposals when
applying for grants from government agencies.

Smart Industry Readiness Index Framework
Validated by a global advisory panel of industry
experts, the Assessment Matrix is designed to
strike a balance among technical rigor,
usability, and relevance. The tool breaks down
each of the 16 Dimensions into 6 progressive
bands of maturity. These dimensions represent
assessment areas that companies can use to
evaluate their current digital maturity,
readiness of facilities, benchmark themselves
against known scores of other companies and
identify potential gaps in their transformation.
SIRI examines the three core areas of Industry 4.0: Process, Technology, and Organisation. It aims to equip companies
with practical knowledge:
Official (Open)
What Industry 4.0 is and the tangible benefits it could yield.
The Maturity levels of their organisations and facilities.
How they can improve in a targeted and incremental manner.
SIRI then utilises frameworks such as the TIER framework below that analyses the results of a maturity assessment
and then combines this with other information to ensure that the focus areas identified will be the most impactful.
This means aligning your improvement roadmap plans to your company costs and revenue figures and your key KPIs
for maximum.

A Holistic Prioritisation Framework
The Prioritisation Matrix is a management planning
tool that helps companies quantitatively identify high-
priority Dimensions that would deliver greatest
impact to their organisation, after they have used the
Assessment Matrix to determine the Industry 4.0
maturity of their manufacturing facilities.

OFFICIAL SIRI ASSESSMENT (OSA)
Begin your transformation journey with the SIRI
Assessment
The Official SIRI Assessment includes the evaluation of
a manufacturing facility across the 16 dimensions of
assessment, the identification of recommended areas
of priority, and the provision of a report of the
findings.

The Official SIRI Assessment (OSA)
Performed by a Certified SIRI Assessor (CSA), the Official SIRI Assessment (OSA) is an independent
assessment of a factory or plant to evaluate its current state, identify high-impact areas to focus
on, and benchmark it against industry peers.
