The short answer

Supplier quality review checks submitted records against the project's quality requirements. That means material certificates, ITPs, welding records and inspection evidence. OdysseyGPT reads each record and quotes the value and the requirement side by side. Missing or conflicting evidence is flagged for your quality team. The quality tools are in beta.

Key Takeaways

  • A submitted document is not proof that a requirement is met.
  • Each finding quotes the record value and the requirement it was checked against.
  • Missing records stay visible until someone closes them.
  • Your quality team decides what is acceptable.

What does a supplier quality review check?

It checks that the records a supplier sends really support the project's quality requirements. A certificate may show the wrong grade or type. An ITP stage may miss a hold point. A weld may have no qualified procedure behind it. The review finds these before inspection or handover.

Start from the inspection and test plan guide and the certificate types in EN 10204 3.1 vs 3.2.

Which OdysseyGPT tools do this?

All tools below are in beta, with each team onboarded by us
ToolWhat it checks
Material Certificate ReviewMaterial test certificates against purchase requirements: chemistry, mechanical tests, heat treatment, heat numbers and EN 10204 type
Material Traceability CheckThe chain from equipment tag down to the material certificate
Welding Qualification ReviewWPS, PQR and welder records against every weld on the weld map
ITP ValidatorA proposed ITP against the customer's quality specification and PO quality clauses
Inspection Readiness CheckWhether an inspection stage can go ahead, with blockers kept apart from advisory items

What do you get back?

  • Findings per record, with the record value and the requirement quoted.
  • Missing, conflicting or ambiguous evidence, flagged.
  • A list your quality engineers can work through and export.

The same evidence helps at bid stage too. Certificate and test requirements often end up on the technical deviation list.

Where do people stay in control?

Your quality team chooses the records and the requirements to check against. OdysseyGPT does not approve or reject a supplier. It shows the evidence so the responsible engineer can decide. See OdysseyGPT for manufacturing.
