In a high-volume automotive services environment, one of ALTEN’s leading OEM customers was facing challenges in delivering consistent, high-quality documentation across multiple projects and diverse client requirements. As operations scaled, the manual quality control (QC) process became a bottleneck, with deliverables varying widely in structure, formatting, and content. Maintaining consistency under tight timelines proved increasingly difficult, and the absence of a structured, repeatable smart quality assurance solution led to delays, rework, client escalations, and declining delivery confidence.

Challenge:

The manual QC process, fully dependent on reviewers, created several bottlenecks:

• Inconsistent application of formatting standards and document structures
• Frequent omission of mandatory sections such as version history
• Repetitive rework cycles due to missed validation checks
• Delayed delivery sign-offs during peak workloads
• Limited scalability as project volumes and deadlines grew
• Varied documentation quality across different reviewers, risking client dissatisfaction and non-compliance

For an automotive digital solutions provider, these gaps impacted enterprise documentation compliance and highlighted the need for quality assurance in regulated industries.

Solution:

To overcome these challenges, ALTEN developed an automated document review software, a Python-based framework designed to execute structured, rule-driven validations seamlessly within the delivery workflow.

The solution leverages Python scripting for business automation and automates checks across three critical dimensions:

• Structural validation: Ensuring correct sequencing and inclusion of mandatory sections like version history and table of contents
• Content completeness: Confirming all required fields and sections are captured
• Format compliance: Aligning documentation with client-specific templates and governance standards

By embedding workflow automation in documentation, the framework flags issues in real time and generates summary reports categorized by severity with contextual guidance for correction. Fully customizable to project templates, SLAs, and compliance requirements, the framework is scalable for enterprise QC and reusable across different document types, while lightweight Excel integration ensures portability.

Benefits: The implementation of this scalable QC framework for enterprises transformed the quality assurance process by:

• Reducing human error in documentation
• Improving turnaround time in deliverables
• Enhancing operational efficiency with Python
• Minimizing rework and client escalations
• Allowing reviewers to focus on content quality rather than formatting

The result: first-time-right documentation, smoother approvals, and improved client satisfaction, reinforcing ALTEN’s service delivery excellence tools.
