Design and obtain necessary materials and equipment
How design and obtain necessary materials and equipment are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
About 60% of the work in Design and obtain necessary materials and equipment 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: Lacking seeded child occupations, the scalar relies on the process description and its manufacturing industry lenses (Food, Chemical, Apparel). The core activities combine heavily digital knowledge work—such as designing equipment via CAD and digitally sourcing materials—with necessary physical exposure to factory floors, raw feedstock, and machinery inspection, placing this at a solid hybrid value.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Design and obtain necessary materials and equipment sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Design and obtain necessary materials and equipment inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: Approval of a new product design and its preliminary manufacturing requirements initiates the need for specific production equipment and raw materials.
- Review product technical specifications and manufacturing requirements
- Determine make-or-buy strategies for production machinery and materials
- Design custom equipment or source machinery from external vendors
- Identify and qualify suppliers for required feedstock and raw materials
- Procure necessary hardware, software, and raw material inventory
- Validate and stage equipment and materials for production line integration
Outcome: Essential manufacturing equipment, software, and raw materials are successfully acquired, designed, and delivered to the production facility for setup.
