When the factory runs on one engineer's memory.
A multi-site manufacturer with critical process knowledge held by 3 senior engineers approaching retirement. AI pilots had stalled because no one could explain what the experts actually knew.
- Knowledge Cartography™ across 5 priority value streams.
- Made the senior engineers' tacit decisions explicit and structured.
- Designed AI augmentation on top of the clarified processes — not before.
- Installed adoption rhythm with plant managers and operators.
- Critical knowledge converted into a replicable asset.
- New-plant ramp-up time reduced by a meaningful multiple.
- AI initiatives now tied to specific value streams with measurable outcomes.
- Senior engineers freed from firefighting and able to focus on next-generation design.
“We did not need more AI. We needed to make our own organization legible.”
