How LTH Baas Unlocked 280 Free Hours per Month with 5 High-Impact AI Ideas
2025-06-17 11:16
Most AI initiatives stall because they never move from brainstorming to clear, measurable action. LTH Baas, a Baltic marine-engineering company, decided to break that pattern.
On 5–6 June 2025, during a focused two-day workshop led by Andres Gavriljuk—Founder of Pragmatiq AI and Digital Automation & AI Expert—cross-functional teams generated more than 30 AI ideas, ranked them by impact and complexity, and produced an implementation roadmap that management can act on immediately.
Why the workshop mattered now
Shipbuilding and marine engineering run on thin margins, long lead times and strict regulatory schedules. Any hour lost to paperwork, document hunting or manual data entry ripples across procurement, production and compliance. LTH Baas’s leadership believed AI could remove some of that drag, but only if the first steps were tightly scoped and immediately measurable.
Bringing cross-functional teams into a single room—procurement managers, design engineers, warehouse coordinators, HR leads and senior executives—created a moment of collective focus. Everyone arrived with the same mandate: describe the work that wastes the most time, estimate its true cost, and decide whether automation could remove the pain.
What the two-day sprint achieved
After just sixteen hours LTH Baas left the workshop with hard numbers, not abstract ambition:
30-plus AI opportunities mapped across supply, engineering, logistics, HR and finance.
Three quick-win pilots chosen for launch within 90 days—small in scope, rich in data and low in integration risk.
Two strategic projects logged for staged investment once early return on investment is proven.
≈ 280 staff-hours per month projected to move from routine admin to higher-value work—roughly the bandwidth of 1.5 full-time employees.
One consolidated priority list agreed by every department and signed off by the executive board.
The group did not need external datasets. All shortlisted pilots rely on information LTH Baas already owns: purchase-order templates, stock tables, regulatory PDF libraries, HR handbooks. That choice keeps data-privacy reviews short and implementation costs low.
Key insights
1. Clear business value beats abstract potential
Each idea was judged on how many minutes, errors or euros it could save. That kept the conversation focused on measurable outcomes rather than technology for its own sake.
2. Internal data is enough to start
All shortlisted pilots rely on documents, tables and regulations the company already controls, so no privacy or integration hurdles block progress.
3. Cross-department alignment is a multiplier
With every function in the same room, LTH Baas left the workshop with one priority list—not five competing ones—which makes follow-through far simpler.
A practical path for the next quarter
Over the coming three months LTH Baas will launch the quick-win pilots identified in the workshop. Results will be reviewed monthly; successful pilots will expand to adjacent workflows, while any that miss their targets will be redesigned or retired early. Only after early ROI is undeniable will the company invest in larger analytics or learning platforms, and parallel up-skilling sessions will make sure staff learn to collaborate with, not compete against, their new AI tools.
