Formal Process Maturity Measure

Measuring the maturity of a process instance is essential because we can evaluate the progress toward a mature production process; Consider we have added some sensors or actuators in the manufacturing process so we need a formal basement for measuring the maturity of the process after these changes. We used the definitions in the control theory to provide a formal measure for process maturity. We defined Elucidability E, Forcability F, and Supervisability S that are ostensive, interpretable, and based on quantities that can be determined or estimated. These lead to a formal definition for a measure of the process maturity M, that combines technical and economic considerations.
