Practical Tips

Six kinds of work you should not put AI on

Knowing where not to use it comes before choosing where to use it.

When I was putting equipment into factories, most of the job was not installing but saying “not here” and taking it back out. AI is the same. Build the exclusion criteria before the candidate list.

The six to exclude

The last one catches people most often. The hardest task and the first task are not the same task.

Exception rates can simply be measured

Don't guess — count for three days. How many items went through, and how many fell outside the rule. Those two numbers decide it. If you don't know them, the answer isn't to delay adoption; it's to measure first.

What survives the filter is the real candidate

Applying the six filters usually halves the list. That is normal. Of what remains, take only the one with the largest annual hours. Once one is running, the second attaches itself.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

AI를 붙이면 안 되는 업무는 무엇입니까?

저빈도 업무, 예외가 20%를 넘는 업무, 판단 책임이 걸린 업무, 곧 없어질 업무, 아직 정리되지 않은 업무, 병목이 아닌 업무 여섯 가지입니다. 마지막 항목이 제일 자주 걸립니다. 가장 힘든 업무와 가장 먼저 손댈 업무는 다릅니다.

예외가 많은 업무인지 어떻게 판단합니까?

감으로 정하지 말고 3일만 세어보면 됩니다. 그 업무를 몇 건 처리했고 그중 규칙대로 안 풀린 건이 몇 건인지, 두 숫자만 있으면 붙일지 말지가 정해집니다. 숫자를 모르겠으면 도입을 미루는 게 아니라 측정을 먼저 하는 겁니다.

여섯 가지를 걸러내면 후보가 너무 적게 남지 않습니까?

절반 이하로 줄어드는 것이 정상입니다. 남은 것 중에서 연간 시간이 가장 큰 하나만 먼저 하시면 되고, 하나가 굴러가면 두 번째는 알아서 붙습니다.
