contents The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in business applications holds considerable promise for significant improvements. The development of AI systems is becoming increasingly complex, thereby underscoring the growing importance of AI engineering and MLOps techniques. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face considerable challenges when implementing AI in their products or processes. These enterprises often lack the necessary resources and expertise to develop, deploy, and operate AI systems that are tailored to address their specific problems. Given the lack of studies on the application of AI engineering practices, particularly in the context of SMEs, this paper proposes a research plan designed to develop blueprints for the creation of proprietary machine learning (ML) models using AI engineering and MLOps practices. These blueprints enable SMEs to develop, deploy, and operate AI systems by providing reference architectures and suitable automation approaches for different types of ML. The efficacy of the blueprints is assessed through their application to a series of field projects. This process gives rise to further requirements and additional development loops for the purpose of generalization. The benefits of using the blueprints for organizations are demonstrated by observing the process of developing ML models and by conducting interviews with the developers.
