By now you have no doubt jumped feet-first into using AI tools like ChatGPT, or at least you have dipped in a toe. In this 1-hour presentation Richard Rahn will be sharing the top ten uses for AI that he has developed in the past year in support of his Mixed Model Manufacturing clients and students. Richard has been a full-time Lean consultant for the past 30 years and regards the recent advances in AI with tools like ChatGPT, Claude.ai and many others as being the most potentially transformative of anything experienced during his career.  The presentation will be organized into four key categories that can revolutionize your manufacturing processes and boost your competitive edge. All the examples discussed in the presentation have been created and are not speculation or “vaporware” and have been created without any special technical skills.

1. Training and Education

2. Workflow Automation

3. Building a Custom Chatbot

4. Building Models
