Corporate training quote

Factories and manufacturing work are full of documents, data and routine tasks: creating and improving SOPs and work instructions, recording and analyzing production data, finding the causes of defects and downtime, preparing shift and monthly reports, maintenance and safety work, and production and inventory planning. These tasks are time-consuming, demand high accuracy and are often spread across many systems and spreadsheets. Generative AI greatly reduces the time spent on document and analysis work so factory teams work faster, to one standard, and have more time to focus on real process improvement. This course is designed to help factory and manufacturing teams use AI

in real work confidently and safely, covering the whole process, from documents and SOPs, analyzing production and quality data, maintenance and safety work, production and supply chain planning, setting up shop-floor assistants and a factory knowledge base, to automation with n8n, plus practices for accuracy, data security and protecting trade secrets and data under PDPA. All content is taught through workshops on real factory tasks, finishing with a capstone project where learners set up an end-to-end AI toolkit for their own work. (2 days, 6 hours per day, 12 hours in total, Beginner to Intermediate level, no AI or programming background required.)

Objectives

  • Understand how AI changes factory and manufacturing work and choose the right AI tool for each task
  • Design prompts for factory work and keep results accurate and verifiable
  • Use AI to create and improve SOPs, work instructions and standard work documents
  • Use AI to analyze production data such as output, defects and downtime, and verify the numbers
  • Use AI for quality work and finding defect root causes (root cause, 5-why)
  • Use AI for maintenance and safety work, such as repair logs, PM plans and safety documents
  • Use AI for basic production and supply chain planning
  • Set up shop-floor assistants and a factory knowledge base with Custom GPT/Gems
  • Set up factory automation with n8n, such as report summaries and alerts
  • Set practices for accuracy, data security and protecting trade secrets

Curriculum

Course Details

A 2-day course, 6 hours per day (12 hours in total), delivered as a hands-on workshop with a capstone project. Beginner to Intermediate level, no AI background required. Learners take home a factory prompt library, a shop-floor assistant (Custom GPT/Gem), SOP templates, PM checklists and sample production reports, and a data security and PDPA checklist.

Day 1: AI for Documents, Production Data and Quality

Section 1: AI in Factory and Manufacturing Work

  • An overview of generative AI in factory and manufacturing work and what changes in the process
  • AI use cases in production: documents, data, quality, maintenance, safety and planning
  • Choosing the right AI tool for each task
  • AI limits and a verification mindset for work that demands high accuracy

Section 2: Effective Prompts for Factory Work

  • A good prompt structure for production: role, process context, data and output format
  • Instructing AI to reference standards and show reasoning so results are traceable
  • Using examples to keep document and report formats consistent
  • Building a team prompt library for recurring work

Section 3: SOPs and Work Instructions with AI

  • Using AI to create and improve SOPs, work instructions and manuals
  • Turning shop-floor steps into standard documents that are easy to read and follow
  • Creating checklists and forms for routine work
  • Workshop: create or improve one of the learner's SOPs with AI

Section 4: Analyzing Production Data with AI

  • Using AI to analyze production data such as output, defects, downtime and OEE
  • Finding anomalies and trends worth checking
  • Preparing shift and monthly reports that support decisions
  • Workshop: use AI to analyze a sample production dataset and summarize key points, verifying the numbers

Section 5: Quality and Defect Analysis

  • Using AI to help with quality control and summarize defect data
  • Finding root causes with root cause and 5-why techniques, with AI helping to ask the questions
  • Reading and summarizing data from defect images and shop-floor documents (multimodal)
  • Workshop: analyze a sample defect case and draft a corrective plan with AI

Day 2: Maintenance, Planning, Assistants and Automation

Section 6: Maintenance and Safety Work

  • Using AI to summarize repair logs and help with basic machine problem analysis
  • Preparing preventive maintenance (PM) plans and checklists
  • Preparing safety documents such as JSA and summarizing near-miss events
  • Workshop: prepare one PM checklist or safety document with AI

Section 7: Production and Supply Chain Planning

  • Using AI to help with basic production planning and scheduling
  • Forecasting demand and helping manage inventory and materials
  • Analyzing the impact of assumptions and simple scenario building

Section 8: Shop-floor Assistants and Factory Knowledge Base

  • Building a Custom GPT or Gem as a shop-floor assistant answering questions on SOPs and standards
  • Embedding factory documents and knowledge for consistent results shared across the team
  • Using AI to help train shop-floor staff and transfer knowledge
  • Workshop: build one shop-floor assistant to answer common production-line questions

Section 9: Factory Automation with n8n

  • Setting up factory automation with n8n, such as daily production report summaries
  • Alerts when production values or defects are abnormal
  • Connecting data across systems and spreadsheets for a complete production view
  • Workshop: design one simple automation flow for factory work

Section 10: Accuracy, Data Security and PDPA

  • Setting mechanisms to verify result accuracy before use in production
  • Data that must not go into AI: trade secrets, production formulas and sensitive data
  • Employee personal data under PDPA and setting the team's AI usage guideline

Section 11: Capstone Project and Real-world Adoption

  • Task: set up an end-to-end AI toolkit for the learner's factory work, from documents and SOPs and data analysis to a shop-floor assistant
  • Present the work and get feedback from the instructor and peers
  • A first-30-days adoption plan and setting up AI use for the whole factory team
