CHAPTER 05 · RUN & IMPROVE
We Keep It Tuned and Expanding
AI deployments decay without tuning. We treat the floor as continuous infrastructure, not a one-time install — the same Plan-Do-Check-Iterate loop the plant already runs on the CMM.
WHAT THIS ACTUALLY CHANGED
The Quarter They Couldn't Explain? Now They Can See It Coming.
The fix-it knowledge that used to live only in veteran operators' heads is now captured, searchable, and feeding tomorrow's huddle. That's the real change — not a dashboard, a floor that gets a little smarter every single shift.
BEFORE & AFTER
| Metric | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| AI systems running the floor | 0 | 3 |
| Daily huddle prep time | ~45 min, from memory | ~10 min, reviewed brief |
| Coaching-ask acceptance | — | Rising weekly |
| Recurring issues now captured | Tribal knowledge only | 100+ logged and searchable |
| Ambassadors active | 0 | 1 per department |
THE ACCURACY CURVE
Coaching-ask acceptance, first 90 days
Operator corrections and floor-lead overrides get absorbed automatically — the report gets sharper every week it runs.

WHAT WE MAINTAIN
Model updates
New model updates applied without disrupting a live shift.
Security
Local, private, and external data handling hardened as real usage data comes in, not guessed up front.
Second-wave workflows
Cell-balance scheduling and the quoting bottleneck move from the plan to build as ambassadors prove out wave one.
Monthly
Ambassador check-ins. Coaching-ask threshold tuning. New pain points added to the list.
Quarterly
Business review with the executive sponsor. Wave 2 scoping. Second-facility rollout planning.

Same Method, Applied to Your Operation
The roadmap session is the work that makes the ROI defensible — pain points, systems, and an owner on every line, mapped before we build anything.
