The Jabil case began with more than 400 applications and manufacturing data bases, and the generative AI assistant was placed in a workshop failure diagnosis, showing the path of a global multi-base enterprise to gradually adapt rather than to a one-time model.
Business problem

Jabil has more than 100 manufacturing bases in more than 25 countries, machine data are permanently isolated from sites and cross-domain analysis is difficult; there are problems with performance, expansion and deployment efficiency in both workshop applications, and on-site personnel are dependent on scattered files and worksheets for troubleshooting information.

Solution

Jabil and AWS gradually migrated and optimized over 400 business applications through multi-year projects, built a centralized data lake using Redshift, and upgraded team capacity through EBA on-site methodology and training; on this basis, Amazon Q Business constructed a smart workshop assistant, connected files, accident sheets and knowledge articles, and continued to expand client research and procurement assistants.

Human roles & accountability

The assistant provides diagnostic information and fault advice to the operator, field personnel confirm the equipment status and perform disposal; procurement and sales personnel review the results of market and client studies and the internal team is responsible for long-term expansion after training.

FDE delivery actions
  • Assess which loads are suitable for clouds, edges or locals
  • Use the field EBA to solve real workshop application bottlenecks.
  • Enable in-house teams to take over long-term construction through training
  • Build assistant first version of the week and then step up the data source.
  • Targets for deployment, processing, cost and on-site use are tracked simultaneously
Reusable delivery patterns
  • The global manufacturing of AI should first solve the site data silo.
  • Cloud migration, data platforms and AI assistants are continuously modified rather than three projects
  • The first version assistant should start with accessible documents and worksheets
  • Building organizational skills determines multi-base replication speed
Business outcomes & delivery results

The AWS case reported a 67-83 per cent reduction in deployment time, a 74 per cent reduction in data-processing time and a 23 per cent reduction in the cost of ETL after the use of Glue Flex; the first version of the smart workshop assistant was completed within one week, followed by gradual access to additional data sources.

Evidence boundaries & verification notes
  • A reduction of 67 to 83 per cent in deployment and 74 per cent in processing resulted from overall cloud and data modification.
  • The one-week indicator refers to the first edition of a smart workshop assistant and does not represent global access.
