Ford’s AI Program and Computational Thought
Nathan Acuna
Ford Motor Company’s Artificial Intelligent Program
Global Study and Process Allocation System (GSPAS)
Ford has been using GSPAS since 2002
The Process Sheet
How the Program Works
The GSPAS program uses modular arrangement of predetermined time standards (MODAPTS) codes.
Example of MODAPTS:
How the program analyzes the production process.
Benefits of the Program
Reduced the engineer’s workload by 20%
AI program has flagged 1,100 process sheets
The AI program has already saved Ford around $17,000,000 in injury cost alone and improved employee relations.
How the GSPAS Program Relates to Computational Thought
Computer scientists modeled Ford’s engineers thought process.
The GSPAS program supports the theory that thought is computational.
