QMS Workbench Stays With You

After the course, your AI compliance mentor is available 24/7. Here is what a real conversation looks like.

QMS Workbench
You
A supplier sent parts with suspicious markings. What should I do?
AI
Quarantine the parts immediately per your suspect counterfeit procedure. Document the visual discrepancies with photos. Check the manufacturer's marking guide for that component. Cross-reference the lot/date codes with known good parts. If suspicion remains, submit a GIDEP alert and contact ERAI for database verification before any destructive testing.
You
What testing methods should I use to confirm these are counterfeit?
✨
Ask anything, anytime. "How do I evaluate a new distributor?" "What are the DFARS flow-down requirements?" "Help me build a receiving inspection checklist"
