AI drafting of engineering design-review failure analyses
Bosch India said AI shifted design-review work from weeks of drafting to hours or days of review
Problem
Certified engineers spent weeks preparing design-review failure analyses. The documents required accumulated product knowledge to assess how engineering changes could fail in production.
Approach
Bosch India used an AI system trained on engineering knowledge and historical failure data to prepare initial drafts. Less-experienced engineers could produce a draft for a certified engineer to validate and approve. CIO and CDO Shankar Rao said the review then took a few hours, with a maximum of 1 or 2 days.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
AI changed who could prepare the initial document. Certified engineers retained responsibility for validation and approval.
