The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Define sampling plan 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: The APQC lens places this within 'Manage enterprise quality'. While quality management often touches physical production, the specific description for 'Define sampling plan' strictly entails cognitive and statistical work—establishing summaries, identifying parameters, selecting sample sizes, and assigning roles. Because the value step is entirely information transformation and planning rather than physical sample collection, the process is solidly digital.

How the work flows

Trigger: A quality control requirement, audit initiation, or new production run dictates the need to evaluate materials, products, or processes.

  1. Identify parameters to measure and their acceptable value ranges
  2. Determine required resolution and statistical confidence levels
  3. Calculate and select appropriate sample sizes
  4. Develop a scheme specifying how and when samples are taken
  5. Assign roles and responsibilities for sample collection and analysis
  6. Document and finalize the comprehensive sampling plan

Outcome: A formal sampling plan detailing the parameters, sample sizes, methods, and assigned responsibilities is finalized and approved for execution.
