What teams see
- Work waits between report incoming defect and identify supplier.
- Owners reconstruct status from ERP platform and Cloud storage.
Manufacturing
Supplier quality corrective action
Incoming supplier quality issues need a consistent evidence package, corrective-action request, response review and closure record.
Business problem
Incoming supplier quality issues need a consistent evidence package, corrective-action request, response review and closure record.
Why it happens
- No shared state spans ERP platform, Cloud storage, Microsoft 365.
- Decision and exception rules are applied inconsistently.
Why it becomes expensive
- Capacity is consumed by coordination and rework.
- Late exceptions weaken visibility and service quality.
Business outcomes
- Shorter close record cycle
- Fewer handoff and missing-information exceptions
- Clear ownership from report incoming defect to close record
- Inspectable decisions and recovery
Measurable KPIs
- Turnaround time: Elapsed time from report incoming defect to close record.
- Manual intervention rate: Share of items needing a person outside defined review conditions.
- Exception age: Time unresolved exceptions remain without a completed action.
- Successful completion rate: Share of valid workflow items completing without terminal failure.
How the workflow works
- Report incoming defect — Accept and identify the supplier quality corrective action trigger. ERP platform
- Identify supplier — Execute identify supplier with validated sample data and an auditable result. ERP platform
- Collect evidence — Execute collect evidence with validated sample data and an auditable result. Cloud storage
- Classify impact — Execute classify impact with validated sample data and an auditable result. Microsoft 365
- Send corrective request — Execute send corrective request with validated sample data and an auditable result. ERP platform
- Track supplier response — Execute track supplier response with validated sample data and an auditable result. Cloud storage
- Quality review — Execute quality review with validated sample data and an auditable result. SEIDO Review Queue
- Verify action — Execute verify action with validated sample data and an auditable result. ERP platform
- Close record — Execute close record with validated sample data and an auditable result. Cloud storage
- Audit and KPI update — Persist the execution outcome, audit facts and workflow measurement events. SEIDO execution store
Integrations and ownership
- ERP platform: Provide workflow input
- Cloud storage: Lookup and update context
- Microsoft 365: Receive controlled outcome
Human responsibility: Operations quality lead
Failure and recovery
ERP platform is temporarily unavailable.
Retry with capped exponential backoff; preserve the run and move it to the inspectable failure queue after the limit.
Required data for identify supplier is malformed or missing.
Stop downstream actions and show the missing fields, source evidence and correction action to the named reviewer.
The trigger or provider event is delivered more than once.
Return the existing execution identified by the idempotency key and do not repeat downstream business actions.
The human decision expires before completion.
Escalate to the configured substitute, retain the original request and record both expiry and reassignment.
When not to build this
- Monthly volume is too low to justify integrating ERP platform, Cloud storage, Microsoft 365.
- An existing configured platform already handles supplier quality corrective action with adequate ownership and reporting.
- Reliable source data or supported API access is unavailable.
- No business owner has authority to define the decision and exception rules.
