About this episode
Peggy Smedley and Rahul Shahani, partner, McKinsey & Co., talk about AI (artificial intelligence) in manufacturing and the frontline worker. He says the core work of manufacturing doesn't change, but AI will bring new capabilities to manufacturing.
They also discuss:
· How agentic AI can help build an optimal production schedule, bringing higher quality products and empowering the workers with dynamic scheduling.
· How to train and engage the frontline worker alongside AI and how leaders can prepare.
· That tech is only 20% of the fully loaded spend to change the way a process or business works to embrace AI—and what the other 80% is.
