Create and finalize program specifications
How create and finalize program specifications are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Create and finalize program specifications is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: Because no child occupations are seeded for this APQC process, the scalar is derived entirely from the process name ('Create and finalize program specifications') and its automotive manufacturing context. Creating specifications is a cognitive, information-transformation task focused on planning, drafting, and technical documentation. Since this consists of pure knowledge work typically performed on computers, it firmly occupies the 'digital' band, assigned a standard band-center value of 0.85.

How the work flows
Trigger: A new vehicle program or product development initiative receives concept approval and initial funding.
- Review initial product concepts and market requirements
- Define technical, performance, and safety targets
- Draft preliminary engineering and material specifications
- Analyze manufacturing feasibility and cost constraints
- Incorporate cross-functional feedback from supply chain and production teams
- Route finalized specifications for executive and engineering approval
- Publish approved specifications to the product lifecycle management system
Outcome: Detailed engineering, performance, and material specifications are formally documented, approved, and baselined for the engineering phase.
