AI agent for quality control specialists

Document Control Review Agent

Make sure only current controlled documents are in use.

Document Control Review Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Old versions of procedures stay on the shop floor and get used. This agent compares the documents posted at each station with the controlled versions in the system. It flags the old ones and requests replacements. After replacement it walks the floor list again to confirm no old version remains. The inspector approves the closeout. Each area manager gets a short list for their own area, with the document, the revision found and the one needed. The agent keeps the list until the walk-through shows a clean result. Edge case: a procedure posted in a work area with no entry on the floor list is flagged as an unknown copy.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It flags any floor copy whose revision differs from the controlled revision, and rechecks until every location shows the current one.

  • Treat any older revision as a failure
  • Flag copies not on the list
  • Allow 3 working days for replacement
  • Escalate after a second miss

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Replacement window (default 3 days)
  • Check frequency
  • Areas covered
  • Escalation contact

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Inspector approves the closeout

Hard limits

  • Never edit a controlled document
  • Never close out with old copies on the floor

It stops when

  • Done: every area has the current revision
  • Stop: a document is missing from the system and document control steps in

An example run

What happensProcedure WI-44 moved to revision D. The floor list shows revision C in two cells and an unlisted copy at the packing bench. The agent sends replacement requests. When it rechecks, the bench copy is still revision C, so it escalates to the area manager. The next check passes and the inspector approves.
