Quality & Compliance
Workflows

Ten agent workflows for the Quality Team — supplier quality monitoring, regulatory compliance tracking, certification verification, recall intelligence, audit readiness, incoming inspection optimization, corrective action tracking, standards change monitoring, supplier qualification automation, and quality benchmarking — ensuring world-class quality across the manufacturing supply chain.

1Supplier Quality Monitoring

AI agent monitors supplier quality indicators by tracking their compliance pages, certification status, and recall history — detecting quality degradation before defective parts enter the supply chain.

Track Supplier Quality Signals
/compliance/products/press/aboutOpenPageRank
SUPPLIER QUALITY DASHBOARD — 342 SUPPLIERS ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ QUALITY COMPLIANT (312 suppliers — 91.2%): All certifications current | No recalls | No quality alerts QUALITY RISK (8 suppliers): casting-supplier.in (Aluminum Castings) /compliance: IATF 16949 certification expired Jan 2026 /press: "Voluntary recall of batch #2024-Q4 castings" /about: Quality manager position vacant 90+ days RISK: Active recall + expired certification = immediate audit WATCH LIST (22 suppliers): Minor quality indicators — increased inspection frequency

2Regulatory Compliance Tracking

AI agent monitors regulatory changes across jurisdictions by tracking compliance page updates on government and industry domains — ensuring manufacturing operations stay ahead of new requirements.

1
Monitor Regulatory Changes

REGULATORY CHANGE TRACKER — MANUFACTURING ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ NEW REGULATIONS DETECTED: ec.europa.eu — EU Carbon Border Adjustment (CBAM) /compliance: Phase 2 effective January 2026 — reporting mandatory Impact: All imports into EU now require carbon content reporting Affected suppliers: 89 of our 342 suppliers (26%) ACTION: Request carbon intensity data from all EU-import suppliers UPCOMING: epa.gov — US PFAS Restrictions /compliance: New PFAS manufacturing limits effective July 2026 Impact: 12 suppliers use PFAS in manufacturing processes ACTION: Audit PFAS usage, identify reformulation timelines

3Certification Verification & Tracking

AI agent tracks supplier certifications by monitoring compliance pages — ISO, IATF, AS9100, and industry-specific certifications with automatic expiration alerts and scope change detection.

2026-01-20 plastic-molding.jp: IATF 16949 renewed — scope narrowed
2026-02-05 steel-supplier-asia.com: All certifications removed from /compliance
2026-02-14 nordic-steel-works.se: Added IATF 16949 (new capability)

4Recall Intelligence & Early Warning

AI agent monitors industry recall signals by scanning supplier and regulatory domains for recall announcements, safety notices, and product advisories that may affect components in our supply chain.

1
Detect Recall Signals Across Supply Chain
/press/products/complianceIAB CategoriesOpenPageRank
Recall Intelligence
Industry Recall Monitoring — Detected 23 recall notices across manufacturing domains in Q1 2026. 3 recalls affect our direct suppliers. casting-supplier.in batch recall affects 4,200 units in our inventory. 2 recalls in adjacent industries suggest emerging material defect pattern in aluminum alloys from Southeast Asian foundries.
3 active recalls in supply chain — 4,200 units potentially affected

5Audit Readiness Assessment

AI agent prepares for supplier audits by pre-analyzing supplier domain intelligence — compliance documentation, quality certifications, process maturity indicators, and organizational stability before on-site visits.

1
Pre-Audit Supplier Intelligence
/compliance/about/careers/leadershipOpenPageRank
PRE-AUDIT ASSESSMENT — casting-supplier.in ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HIGH-RISK FINDINGS (pre-visit): /compliance: IATF 16949 expired — quality system lapsed /about: Quality Manager position vacant 90+ days /press: Recall announced — batch quality issue /careers: No quality engineering roles posted /leadership: Quality Director departed Q4 2025 AUDIT FOCUS AREAS: 1. Quality management system documentation review 2. Corrective action for recalled batch 3. Incoming material inspection process 4. Statistical process control implementation 5. Staff qualifications and training records RECOMMENDATION: Escalate to critical audit — on-site within 2 weeks

6Incoming Inspection Optimization

AI agent optimizes incoming inspection by risk-scoring supplier shipments using domain intelligence — increasing inspection for at-risk suppliers and reducing inspection for consistently high-quality suppliers.

1
Risk-Score Incoming Shipments
/compliance/press/careersOpenPageRankDomain Ages
INCOMING INSPECTION OPTIMIZATION ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ SKIP-LOT ELIGIBLE (145 suppliers — no inspection needed): All certifications current | No quality incidents | PR stable Cost savings: $890K/year in reduced inspection labor NORMAL INSPECTION (167 suppliers): Standard AQL sampling per incoming inspection plan ENHANCED INSPECTION (30 suppliers): casting-supplier.in: 100% inspection — active recall electronics-mfg.cn: Enhanced sampling — production disruption steel-supplier-asia.com: 100% inspection — financial distress

7Corrective Action Intelligence

AI agent tracks corrective action effectiveness by monitoring supplier domain signals for systemic improvement — detecting whether quality issues are isolated incidents or patterns requiring escalation.

1
Track Corrective Action Patterns
/compliance/press/about/careersOpenPageRank
CORRECTIVE ACTION EFFECTIVENESS ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ RESOLVED (12 CARs closed this quarter): Suppliers showed improvement: hired quality staff, updated /compliance Post-action domain signals all positive NOT RESOLVED (3 CARs — escalation required): casting-supplier.in — CAR #2025-089 (open 120 days) Root cause: Material porosity in aluminum castings Corrective action: "New inspection equipment ordered" Domain signals: No quality hires, no /compliance updates ASSESSMENT: Words but no action — escalate to VP Supply Chain

8Standards Change Monitoring

AI agent monitors industry standards bodies for changes to manufacturing standards — tracking updates to ISO, ASTM, SAE, and other standards that affect product design, materials, or processes.
