AI in Manufacturing Quality: Hype or Real Value?
Can AI deliver real value in manufacturing quality management? In this presentation, Dr. Péter Bereczki, Quality Management Director at Arconic Köfém in Székesfehérvár, Hungary shares his experience of applying AI to practical quality management challenges.
Recorded at QFD Group’s 15th Annual Gathering of Regional Automotive Decision Makers, the presentation explains why Arconic’s quality team outgrew spreadsheet-based processes, why they chose QualityAI, and how they’ve started using it to review customer-specific requirements and to plan and run internal audits.
Péter also lays out where he wants to take it next: analyzing audit findings across the whole organization, so internal auditing becomes an input to management decisions instead of compliance paperwork.
The presentation also demonstrates how AI can help quality teams work more efficiently, identify business risks and turn audit insights into actionable management feedback.
