Not sure what to do with your AI efforts at your company?

 Not sure what to do with your AI efforts at your company? 

Without the Integrated Process Excellence (IPE) infrastructure, an AI LLM is merely a smart generalist and falls short of being a process expert necessary for effective business transformation. To achieve operational excellence and drive continuous improvement, the integration of such infrastructure is critical, especially in the context of digital transformation, as highlighted by experts like John Cachat.

Without the Integrated Process Excellence (IPE) infrastructure, AI LLMs and Agents are just a smart generalist.  They can only produce generic thoughts about excellence - it cannot support with Operational Excellence, Business Transformation, or Continuous Improvement efforts with rapid path to actionable insights. IPE provides AI LLM context needed to execute and measure results.

The complete series of Integrated Process Excellence for the AI Era is now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4NC4KML

 


Any money left in the 2025 training budget? – these books provide a great framework for next year training efforts.

This comprehensive guide reveals how to implement a Quality Cost Accumulator - an AI-powered system that integrates data from ERP, MES, QMS, PLM, and unstructured data. You'll discover how Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on your Integrated Process Excellence (IPE) Process Platform can automatically categorize costs, identify failure patterns, predict risks, and generate persona-specific insights for every stakeholder from operators to executives.

 


What You'll Learn:

AI/LLM Configuration - Step-by-step guidance for training Large Language Models on your process grammar so they reason like experienced process engineers rather than generic chatbots that hallucinate

Multi-Persona Intelligence - How to configure systems that automatically generate tailored insights for CFO (EBITDA impact), COO (throughput constraints), Plant Manager (immediate actions), Engineering (design failures), Purchasing (supplier quality), Sales (customer risk), Marketing (brand exposure), and HR (training gaps)

The Super Cube Approach - How to integrate unstructured data (emails, complaints, technician notes) with structured data (production logs, inspection results, financial transactions) to reveal complete cause-and-effect chains

"All Different, All the Same"

Join a delightful journey through the animal kingdom where young readers discover an amazing truth: creatures who look very different can actually be the same kind of animal!

Meet spotted Dalmatians and fluffy golden retrievers—both dogs! Marvel at tabby cats with stripes and sleek black cats with no patterns—all cats! Explore how horses come in every color from white to black, with spots and patches in between. Discover parrots wearing bright red, blue, green, and yellow feathers—yet all are parrots.

Through vibrant illustrations and simple, engaging text, children learn that just like dogs can have long fur or short fur, big ears or small ears, people come in all different colors, sizes, and features too. We have different hair textures, eye colors, skin tones, and body types—but we're all humans, all part of the same family.

Purpose:

This book introduces young children (ages 3-7) to the biological concept that members of the same species can look remarkably different from one another. By starting with familiar animals, it helps children understand genetic diversity in a concrete, visual way before applying this concept to human diversity.

The gentle comparison encourages children to:

  • Celebrate differences rather than fear them
  • Understand that external appearance doesn't change what we fundamentally are
  • Develop empathy and inclusivity from an early age
  • See diversity as natural, normal, and beautiful

It's a story about belonging, acceptance, and the wonderful variety found in nature—including in ourselves.
