Job Description

AI solution development

• Design and develop an AI assistant using an approved enterprise platform such as Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry or an equivalent governed platform.

• Build the solution only on approved and certified data layers. Do not connect directly to raw transactional systems unless specifically authorized by the relevant data owner.

• Develop prompts, workflows and retrieval logic that answer manufacturing productivity questions with traceable sources.

• Create safeguards that reduce unsupported responses, protect confidential information and require citations for quantitative outputs.

• Develop and maintain a structured test set covering common plant questions, edge cases, access restrictions and expected responses.

Opportunity identification and recommendation

• Analyze certified productivity and cost measures to highlight performance gaps and potential improvement areas by plant, process, asset or loss category.

• Connect operational losses to relevant cost drivers, including labor hours per unit, scrap, rework, downtime, changeover, energy use and material yield.

• Develop a recommendation capability that retrieves similar A3, DMAIC, Kaizen, Yokoten and Shingijutsu cases based on problem type, asset, process or waste category.

• Present recommendations with supporting evidence, source references, estimated value where approved, and clearly stated limitations.

Prompt library and knowledge management

• Create a reusable prompt library for productivity analysis, gap identification, root-cause exploration, best-practice retrieval and improvement-project preparation.
• Organize prompts by user need and manufacturing-excellence workflow so that plant teams can use them consistently.
• Document assumptions, approved data sources, expected inputs, output format and known limitations for each prompt or agent feature.

Plant capability building and adoption

• Conduct an AI maturity and readiness assessment for participating plants, covering data availability, tools, skills and adoption barriers.

• Run pilot sessions, user testing, office hours and short training sessions for plant engineers and Continuous Improvement leads.

• Collect user feedback and usage evidence, then prioritize improvements based on business value, usability and adoption.

• Create user guides, quick-reference materials, FAQs, governance guidance and a structured handover package for the designated business owner.

• Participate in relevant tier meetings and CI reviews to ensure the solution supports existing ways of working rather than creating a parallel process.
