What AI can take care of in 8D, PPAP and customer requirements.
A mini-workshop for those of you who work with quality at suppliers to the automotive industry. We start from your daily work: the 8D reports with the customers' deadlines, the PPAP documentation and IMDS for every new or changed part, the customer portals, your sub-suppliers' responses and the customer audits. You leave with a picture of what can be left to AI in your own processes, and how the quality department gets more time for the strategic work.
What is included.
- How AI can be used at your company. 8D towards customers and towards your sub-suppliers, the PPAP documentation, IMDS, the customer portals and the internal deviations: which repetitive steps can be left to AI.
- Your process, your systems. You choose a process, for example 8D or a PPAP submission. We map the path it takes through the customer portals, the ERP system, production, the quality system, the templates and email, and show where AI can work between them.
- Where Copilot is enough, and where it is not. Summarising, comparing and drafting you can do yourselves today. What should happen without anyone asking, across several systems and within the customers' deadlines, requires a built flow that someone is responsible for.
- How AI can support your improvement work. AI shows what keeps coming back in your 8D reports, deviations and supplier responses. You get the evidence when you decide which suppliers to develop, which tools to fix and what to prioritise.
- Control and rules. Where you approve, and how you see what AI did and why, with the traceability a customer audit asks for. What the AI Act, GDPR and your customers' confidentiality requirements demand, and how IT keeps control of permissions, data and monitoring.
Who it is for.
The person responsible for quality and the quality department, ideally IT as well.

If you want to go further, we map one of your processes, or build the first flow. You decide.

Tell us briefly what takes the most time: the 8D reports, the PPAP documentation or something else in your quality work, and we will get back to you with a suggested time.
I have worked for 25 years with ERP systems and business development at manufacturers and wholesalers, and today with building and managing AI flows in quality work. I know the systems the quality work runs through, and where it gets stuck.
