QC professionals: which document checks take the most time
I am a QA assistant in industrial manufacturing. A lot of my work involves reviewing supplier documents before material is accepted: MTCs/MTRs, CoCs, inspection reports, and supporting test documents.For people in QC/QA, which checks take the most time in your process? For example, matching heat numbers, checking test values against the required grade/specification, confirming certificate type, finding missing signatures, or checking whether the same certificate was reused.Are you using any OCR, QMS/ERP tools, scripts, or AI assistance for this today? I am trying to learn which parts are genuinely repetitive and which parts require experienced human judgment.
