# Operations Use Cases

> Opportunity patterns for scheduling, document processing, routing, SOPs, exceptions and operational visibility.

Operations often contains the highest concentration of repetitive cross-system work.

## Scheduling

Optimise assignments using known constraints before adding AI. AI may help interpret unstructured requests, while deterministic optimisation handles rules and capacity.

## Document processing

Extract, classify and validate information from forms, emails and documents before routing it into operational systems.

## Workflow routing

Route cases based on explicit criteria, with AI used only where classification requires interpretation.

## SOP creation and maintenance

Use observed workflows and approved process material to draft SOPs. Process owners must validate the final procedure.

## Exception handling

Identify cases that deviate from normal patterns and surface the information needed for a human to resolve them.

## Quality and operational visibility

Summarise recurring failure patterns, rework and bottlenecks from operational evidence.

## Diagnostic questions

* Where does work queue?
* Which handoffs require re-keying?
* Which exceptions consume disproportionate effort?
* What decisions rely on tacit knowledge?
* Which process steps exist only because systems do not connect?

<Tip>
  In operations, process redesign and integration frequently create more value than adding an AI layer to a poor workflow.
