AI Readiness Assessment

Each answer scores your organization across nine dimensions of AI and data readiness. Most leaders complete this in 5–8 minutes.Three questions.

How does your AI or analytics direction connect to your operating plan?(Required)

In your own words: what is AI expected to deliver to throughput, yield, or cost per unit this year and where does that direction actually show up? In S&OP? Plant reviews? Or only in an IT deck that nobody references on the floor?

Where does your AI direction show up today?(Required)

Choose the option that most honestly describes current reality, not the goal state.

When your team needs floor data to make a call, how does that actually happen today?(Required)

Walk us through the path: quality issue, scheduling call, yield deviation, supplier problem. Where does the data live? Who touches it? How long before it reaches the right person? Is the path the same regardless of plant or shift?

Which best describes your current state on AI decision accountability?(Required)

Choose the option that most honestly describes current reality, not the goal state.

If an AI or analytics system made the wrong call — wrong schedule, bad batch disposition, flawed demand plan — who would find out, how fast, and what would happen next?(Required)

Walk us through that scenario at your organization today. Is there a named person accountable for that call, or does responsibility diffuse into the shift or the team? If you haven’t yet deployed AI in operational decisions, describe how this would likely work based on your current governance processes.

How long after a floor event is it visible in the system you use for decisions?(Required)

Choose the option that most honestly describes current reality, not the goal state.
