High-Impact Applications
- Process documentation: AI documents existing processes from observation, interviews, or existing SOPs
- Reporting automation: AI pulls data, generates narrative commentary, flags anomalies, distributes on schedule
- Demand forecasting: ML models trained on historical data + seasonality + external signals
- Anomaly detection: Real-time monitoring with AI alerting when patterns deviate
The Operations Manager's AI Workflow
- Identify the 3 processes consuming the most manual time or causing the most errors
- Map each process: inputs, steps, decisions, outputs
- Identify rule-based steps (automatable) vs judgment-based (AI-assistable)
- Pilot automation on rule-based steps of one process
- Measure before and after. Expand to the next process.
