Define production process
How define production process are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
About 65% of the work in Define production process is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.
Why: The APQC category lens points to physical supply chain and product delivery (which carries a low prior of ~0.15), but refining with the specific process name 'Define production process' shifts the focus. The description explicitly names 'Outlining the scheme'—an analytical, engineering, and documentation task rather than hands-on execution. This lifts the work from physical material handling to information transformation, placing it in the high-hybrid band.

How the work flows
Trigger: A new product design is approved for manufacturing or an existing production method requires optimization.
- Receive and review product design specifications
- Define the manufacturing bill of materials
- Identify required machinery, tooling, and equipment
- Determine labor, skill sets, and training requirements
- Map production routing and operational sequences
- Finalize and publish standard operating procedures
Outcome: A comprehensive production scheme detailing materials, equipment, labor, and workflow is finalized and documented.
