Vendor Inspection

Vendor Inspection: conformity evidence at each ITP point.

MSD coordinates and supports supplier checks against specifications and ITPs, recording witness and hold points, test results and non-conformities.

MSD approach

Quality needs verifiable evidence.

From ITP review to open-item close-out, we structure evidence and reporting so project and quality teams understand the true package status.

  • Results referenced to ITPs and specifications
  • NCRs with corrective-action status
  • Evidence for release assessment

When to involve MSD

When a check needs attendance and evidence.

Intervention points, acceptance criteria and applicable documents need to be clear before inspection.

01

A witness or hold point needs coverage

Agree attendance arrangements, notification requirements and applicable documents with quality representatives for the ITP point requiring coverage.

02

Test results need documentary verification

Examine test reports and records against applicable criteria, distinguishing documented results from clarifications still needed.

03

NCRs or open points prevent release assessment

Collect non-conformity and corrective-action status to establish which reservations remain for assessment by the authorised party.
