The situation
Supplier qualification assembles audit reports, certificates, specifications and change notifications into a decision about whether a supplier is acceptable for a given material.
The pack is assembled by the supplier. It asserts a position and attaches evidence, and the recipient's job is to check that the evidence supports the assertion and is current.
Why it is hard
Certificates expire
A pack assembled over months can contain a certificate that lapsed during assembly.
Scope has to match
An accreditation covering one site or one test method does not cover another. The mismatch is a detail inside the certificate.
Change notifications arrive later
A qualification is a point in time. Notifications after it may invalidate part of the basis, and they arrive as correspondence rather than as an update.
How we approach it
Agentix reads the pack, checks each assertion against the attached evidence, and reports validity dates, scope mismatches and unsupported assertions with both the claim and the certificate cited.
Subsequent change notifications are indexed against the qualification so their effect on the original basis can be assessed when they arrive.
What changes
- Assertions checked against the evidence attached to them
- Certificate validity and scope assessed, not assumed
- Later change notifications linked back to the qualification basis
- QA decision and sign off recorded against the supplier
