How Generative AI Fits into Lean Manufacturing Without Disrupting Culture

Описание: This clip is part of our CEO Ask Me Anything (AMA) series, created to answer audience questions that couldn’t be addressed live during Andrew Scheuermann’s recent panel appearance at IIoT World on Agentic AI and Integrated Data Workflows.

The question: How can Agentic AI be configured to work within lean manufacturing principles, ensuring automation enhances rather than disrupts established workflows and plant floor culture?

Andrew’s response reframes the conversation around digital automation for indirect labor, much like physical automation has transformed direct labor over the past decades. From engineering teams writing compliance reports to quality analysts reviewing documentation, generative AI introduces massive potential for efficiency without replacing people or undermining company culture.

Andrew shares how Arch Systems embraces this transformation internally through initiatives like the AI Dividend, designed to ensure that employees benefit alongside the organization as AI is adopted across roles.

This is a must-watch for leaders navigating digital transformation, lean practices, and workforce empowerment in the age of AI.
