Thematic Seminar

Utilizing Generative AI in Manufacturing
~ Ask ChatGPT for Kaizen Methods! ~

Asahi Tekko, a Tier 1 supplier for Toyota Motors, reduced its break-even point by 2.9 billion yen and added a profit of 1 billion yen while reducing power consumption by 26% through DX initiated by their in-house developed IoT, 'iXacs'. This is essentially 'Profitable Carbon Neutrality'. The secret lies not in numbers but in visualizing problems through IoT, accumulating and sharing know-how on improving identified issues, and fostering a culture of challenge. We delve into the 'Horizontal Expansion Item List' and the 'Higher Concept of Kaizen' that support the accumulation and sharing of know-how, and the secrets of cultural reform. Furthermore, we will discuss the utilization of ChatGPT to democratize Kaizen through 'KaizenGAI', which extracts Asahi Tekko's Kaizen know-how in natural language.
