Using Creativity to Evaluate Capability
Donna MuellerIBM WW Enablement LeaderSoftware Client [email protected]
I am the technical “trusted advisor” to my
clients.
I help my client become a leader in their
industry via the solutions I propose.
I drive the enterprise
innovation agenda in my
client(s).
It is difficult to maintain
my technical expertise
and have a sales quota.
I don’t have enough exposure to non-
IT organizations, at my client.

A Major AutoCo Business Initiative- Maximizing Manufacturing Uptime
2
1
The Account team working on the IBM Integrated Account at AutoCo will find an extremely mature company in terms of business
model longevity (leader in global vehicle sales for 77 consecutive years, 1931-2007), while also noting recurrent operational and
quality issues related to excess complexity, masses of equipment in various conditions requiring excessive attention, and sometimes
archaic IT support. Rebounding from quality, safety and brand perception issues as well as financial difficulties in recent years,
AutoCo needs to reinforce product quality and inherent safety as their prime goals, while also driving undeniable and superior value
to the end user consumer. Economically, AutoCo must rein in challenges around capital expenditures, equipment/tooling and
personnel costs in order to remain profitable and progressive. Of prime focus according to manufacturing line personnel and
supervision has to be the maximization of operational accuracy and service lives for factory floor tooling. An integrated approach for
prediction that starts with quality evaluation stations and moves across AutoCo to end-to-end production lines has been envisioned
for the customer, and appropriate small-scale pilot deployments using existing IT infrastructure have been initially requested by
AutoCo. A longstanding (opened 1954) Texas assembly facility for mid- to large-scale Sport Utility Vehicles has been chosen as the
starting point.

Improvement of Car-Body Welding Processes – Case Study Overview
22
You are the SCA on the AutoCo account, one of the largest global manufacturers of automobiles. The company has struggled to
compete on quality and warranty issues in several key manufacturing-process areas such as paint, stamping, and welding. Welding
has been particularly problematic in that an increase in car production has strained the existing monitoring and alert system, and
more weld-robot faults are leading to dangerous weld defects. Embracing advances in IoT, the company has installed new ultrasound
and laser inspection sensors, which are multiplying the data to be analyzed. The company’s longstanding statistical-process-control
system cannot keep up, and process engineers on the plant floor are frustrated that they are unable to leverage all the new data.
You brief the plant manager and process engineers on IBM’s BD&A PoV and modern prediction capabilities. They have asked you to
develop a solution that analyzes and makes it easier to make process-improvement decisions based on all the data being generated
by the sensors. Plant manager Pete mentions to you privately that they were able to hire Sarah, a top-notch engineering graduate,
who also had an offer from Tesla, so the solution must have high wow factor! You will be presenting your solution to the Division VP

Technology Requirements
Volume: Product quality and asset maintenance systems and processes must support ~10-million-unit/year production
targets plus 5% annual growth
Scalability: System implementations must utilize existing and planned IT capital spending levels, rolling out to 37 US
manufacturing facilities post-pilots, eventually to ~100 worldwide; Cloud and on-demand additional capacity as possibilities,
but direct ownership only and no outsourcing
Governance and Control: All automation augmentations, extra processing/storage capacity and massive amounts of new
structured business data and unstructured sensor data must be integrated into current plant/region/division operational
analytics and views and dashboards, with current remote management capabilities supported across the board
Timeliness: Models must be continually updated, view frequently refreshed to be able to make timely decisions and changes
to the process.
Data Security: New augmentations, capacity and data storage/handling must meet all applicable corporate standards for
plant isolation, cross-plant communications and encryption
Self-serve: Enable individual plant management roles with comprehensive “own facility” operational views that include
tooling performance and analytical reporting
High availability: Support three production shifts at 90% line availability 7 days/week, 315 days/year via hardware clustering
w/failover, re-routable automation workflows27

General Observations
Traditional approaches to data storage, with still some manual entry/onboarding (i.e., CSVs, spreadsheets, forms)
Well-supported, multipath and extremely reliable high-bandwidth corporate intranet reaching all facilities, with partitioning
between administrative and operational functions
Substantial on-premise data processing facilities distributed both near-HQ and around the world; very mature and time-
honored processes in place
Factory automation and IT groups typically at odds around perceived on-floor and visibility needs
Some advanced analytical dabbling by industrial engineers at corporate HQ and the Technology Center, along with lots of
data collection from existing automation (uploads along intranet), but almost all “dark” and untapped
Resurging profits around successful vehicle lines have driven improvements in capital planning and budgets of late
Aging tooling and facilities along with labor costs contribute to too many production outages; potential high for optimization
opportunities

Key Players
CIO – steeped in traditional IT and on-premise approaches, but willing to listen on Cloud and dynamic capacity
Division VP – have product success/revenue responsibilities, tend to be friendly toward analytics, enhanced visibility and process
optimization
Regional Manager – focused on plant group operations, lowering costs and making target production and overhead reduction
numbers; interested in seamless, non-disruptive transformation yielding high ROI
Plant Manager – caught up in Regional Managers’ priorities, open to low-impact technology improvements and increased insights
into individual asset performance, along with emerging and future plant issues; drives to achieve/exceed targets for scrap reduction,
inventory balance, overtime, etc.
Production Line Manager – concerned with maximum line uptime, minimal interruptions and totally-predictable (and minimized time
loss) maintenance
Plant Process Engineer – into process improvements driven by technology, analytics, and visibility/insight into previously unused or
“dark” data
Plant Maintenance Manager – wants machinery working in predictable manner, allowing outage and spare parts supply planning,
etc.; desires visibility into details and health scoring for individual equipment, including prescriptive action recommendations
Quality Control Manager – looks to leverage dashboards and scorecards to decision and avoid production stoppages for quality
issues; high degree of reporting and support for spotting and intervening in quality issues originating at suppliers

Empathy Map for Sarah, Plant Process Engineer
I can’t keep up with all this data from the new acoustic and laser sensors.
With all this new data I’m getting in real time, I could greatly improve the welding process.
Ensures that welding process is performing well
Researches and drives process improvement
Gotta find a way to update my models continually with all this new data.
Frustration that she doesn’t have the data management system and tools to deliver a corrective action to a problem in a timely manner.
The old SPC methods are really not enough when we have all these newer AI and cognitive analytics methods we could be using.
Pressure to analyze the torrent of new sensor data, make process improvements, and report results to the plant manager.
My model results have to be immediately reportable to the plant and quality managers, with enough drilldown detail so they can tell how much improvement we’re achieving.
Excitement about what the new data could tell her about process problems, and the potential for newer analytics methods she could use to solve them.

Empathy Map for Pete, the Plant Manager
“I need higher visibility and more rapid and easier-to-read reports tied to my engineer’s modeling.
“We need to make use of all the sensor data we’ve invested in.”
My engineers need faster modeling tools so that we can anticipate problems earlier
Schedules daily plant operations
Monitors overall plant performance
Coordinates production activities
I need higher visibility and more rapid reporting so that I can reduce downtime and cost overruns.
Needing to be able to leverage all the data coming from the new sensors that he just recommended.
If only my engineers could determine the root cause of problems quicker…and report to me on their results right away.
Pressure from senior management when downtime increases and plant production declines
My engineers need to be able to run their models continually on many times more data than in the past.
The need to enable his engineers to better optimize the process in a more timely manner.
