Processes tell the AI what work to expect in a video. You set up each process once, list its steps, and mark each step as value-added or non-value-added.
When you create a study, you select the processes that appear in the video. The AI then uses their steps, and your certified studies of the same processes, as a reference.
Add a process
Go to Lean Creator → Time & Motion Study.
Click Processes at the top right of the Time & Motion Studies page.
Click Add Processes.
Enter a name for the process, using the name your team uses, for example the name of the assembly step or work cell.
Optionally, add notes that give the AI context, such as what the operators do and which tools they use. Write them as if you were briefing a new engineer.
Save the process.
Add steps to a process
In the process list, open the process and click Edit steps.
Click Add step and enter the step name.
Choose the step's category: value-added or non-value-added.
Repeat for each step in the process, then save.
Tip: Use the same words for steps that your team uses on the floor. The AI uses them to label activities in the timeline.
Use processes in a study
On the Time & Motion Studies page, click + New Study.
Under Processes, select every process that appears in the video. You can select more than one.
Finish creating the study and upload the video. See Create a time study and select operators.
You don't need to select individual steps. Each process brings its steps with it.
Result
The AI labels the activities in the timeline with your step names and categories. If it assigns an activity to the wrong process, double-click the activity and choose the right one.
Good to know
Select the same processes every time you study the same work. Certified studies of a process are used as a reference for later studies of that process.
The AI reads your processes when it analyzes a video, so changes to a process apply to studies you run after the change.
Certifying a short clip of about 10–15 minutes for each new process is a good way to start.
