What it is
In this directory, what Microsoft Excel is used for is the wording of the entries that name it.
- Engineering drawing → first-article inspection template (Quality, Easy, shops of 10-200 employees). The entry says: Claude/ChatGPT reads the drawing PDF, lists dimensions and tolerances, and outputs a checklist that QC reviews.
- Estimate job run times from history (Planning, Medium, shops of 10-200 employees). The entry says: Export past job routings and actual times; find similar past jobs (similarity search) to predict duration.
- Compare supplier quotes automatically (Purchasing, Easy, shops of 10-200 employees). The entry says: An LLM extracts price, MOQ, and lead time from quote PDFs into one sheet for the buyer.
- Calibration recall + cert filing (Quality, Medium, shops of 10-200 employees). The entry says: A spreadsheet is the gage register. n8n files each incoming cert PDF under that gage ID; Claude reads the calibration date, due date, and result; a person confirms the row; 30-day and 7-day reminders go out from the due date; and once a month n8n saves a frozen export of ID, status, due date, and cert file.
