AI Academy / Foundational

Run the line with the AI beside you.

The shop-floor path. Learn to read your live line, log losses cleanly, and act on the next-best fix — so every shift you work makes the plant’s numbers more trustworthy and its losses smaller.

§01Who it's for

Built for the Operator.

Machine operators, line workers, and floor crew who use KaizenFlow AI every shift. No analytics background needed — every screen is taught from the floor’s point of view.

Prerequisite

None. This is the entry point to every other Academy path.

§02Outcomes

What you'll learn.

By the end of this path, you'll be able to:

Read the live line view — OEE, downtime, and scrap by station — without hunting through tabs

Log downtime, changeovers, and scrap so the numbers your plant trusts stay accurate

Act on the AI’s ranked next-best action and mark it done from the floor

Respond to anomaly alerts before a small drift compounds into scrap

Hand off a shift the next crew and your supervisor can act on

How it's assessed

A short hands-on check driven by a simulated shift on the live line view — read the line, log a downtime stop and a changeover with the right reasons, action the AI’s ranked next-best fix and close the loop, respond to an anomaly alert, then leave a usable handover. Scored on whether your floor actions are correct, not on what you can recite.

2 attempts included; immediate retake, no cooldown.

What's tested

  • Reading the live line view — locating OEE, downtime, and scrap by station and seeing which station is losing
  • Clean data entry — logging a downtime stop and a changeover with the right reason codes
  • Acting on the AI’s ranked next-best action and responding to an anomaly alert before drift becomes scrap
  • Leaving a clear, actionable shift handover

Every credential carries a unique ID and a shareable badge — verifiable by anyone, no login, valid for 24 months.
