AI for problem soving processes

Implementing Artificial Intelligence for Problem Solving Processes

/0 Commentaires/dans , , , , /par

Problem solving is a universal process faced by all organizations when dealing with issues, complaints, incidents, deviations or non-conformances.

BPA’s development lab is currently exploring AI for predictive analysis applied to problem solving processes.

AI for problem soving processes

The developed machine learning algorithm compares similarities between new entered incidents and historical data, and suggests root causes, corrective actions for a quick and efficient solving.

The used algorithm was trained on the entire Wikipedia database for optimal similarity searching, not only looking for exact matches but also analogous matches that have the same meaning by using comparable terms, expressions and synonyms. For instance, when reporting a new incident “customer service was not good”, the algorithm will propose 3 root causes: lack of communication skills, lack of domain knowledge, lack of responsible behavior. In this case, the algorithm found a similarity with a previous incident “customer service delivered poor response”.

Behind the scenes, the process will compare new incidents with previous ones and calculate a correlation factor for each item. Suggested actions and root causes corresponding to the highest correlation factor will be proposed to the investigator.

The data model is updated each time new data is entered in the BPA software, improving the algorithm’s efficiency.

BPA’s AI features will radically help organizations solving problems faster and more efficiently, reducing costs and improving customers’ satisfaction.

BPA will progressively introduce AI to suggest risks and actions related to any quality improvement process, like audits, inspections, objectives, indicators, swot analysis, etc.

Conversational intelligence – read article and view video here – and AI features will soon be available with BPA Quality & Risk Management on Office 365.

BPA is proud to be on the front line implementing AI for regulatory compliance.

Applying AI to Regulatory Compliance – Introduction Video

Artificial Intelligence – AI – is a hot topic at the moment. Microsoft has developed technologies for predictive analysis, usually suited for large volume of data. Industry sectors like hospitals start using these technologies for predictive patient treatments. Another aspect of AI is conversational intelligence, also called bots. A bot is a virtual companion that will guide end users achieving their tasks.

BPA’s development lab is working on creating bots to simplify user experience with our regulatory solutions for Quality, Risk and GDPR. A first experimental bot was developed to guide end-users to submit an incident. Using a mobile device, the end-user is prompted to report an incident. The virtual companion asks for important information to be logged in the system, prompts for immediate actions to be done and optionally proposes to append photos to the incident.

Once the incident has been reported, a workflow starts and tasks will be distributed to the concerned users for qualifying and investigating the incident. At the investigation stage, AI is used for optimal root cause selection, based on 5 why and Ishikawa methodologies. AI will further be used for optimal CAPA/Risk management by retrieving relevant historical data in the system and guide concerned persons to solve incidents quicker and more efficiently.

The experimental bot for incident reporting was developed on Microsoft Teams and runs with any mobile device. It will be soon available for our Office 365 customers. BPA is very proud to be on the front line applying AI to regulatory compliance.

The Ideal CRM Solution Dedicated to Small Businesses

/0 Commentaires/dans , , , /par

Small and mid-sized businesses are strongly impacted by poor sales efficiency and complex CRM systems.

Financially fragile, small organizations are affected by revenue losses & poor conversion rates, they have no option for dedicated CRM resources and no time/money for complex CRM solutions.

An adapted CRM solution is critical for small companies to better know conversion rates and increase sales efficiency. Because sales processes evolve rapidly in small businesses, the CRM system needs to be very flexible. It has to work tightly with Microsoft tools used by sales teams. Ideally, important end user tools – like calendar, reminders, emails, collaboration, Office apps, CRM system – need to be in the same interface (yes, it’s possible!).

Big CRMs are costly, complex, not flexible, and not adapted to small organizations. These complex tools require dedicated resources and extra costs to work normally.
