Presentation
The Supplier/Object Qualification Index (OSQI) is a configurable indicator within the system that allows for the quantitative evaluation of the quality of an object delivered by a given supplier. The calculation is performed using customized formulas, constructed from predefined variables such as IQEM, IQS, IQI, FC-NC, QTE, QTNC, and CHECK.
Based on the OSQI, the system generates complementary indices:
OQI : average OSQI scores per item, independent of the supplier.
SPI : average of OSQI scores per supplier, regardless of the product.
This structure allows for the integrated evaluation of suppliers and products, providing a solid foundation for strategic decisions in quality management and supplier relationships.
Configuring object/supplier index (OSQI)
1. Access the Settings menu > Receipt Ranking: Quality Index (IP031).
2. Click the button
.
3. On the screen that will open, fill in an identifier and a name.
4. Click the button
to enable OSQI calculation, and then the button
.
5. In the equation editor, in the variables section, the list of indices will be displayed:
Product/Supplier Qualification Indexes
6. To create an equation, double-click the selected index in the list of variables, and the selected option will appear in the Equation field . To include a constant value, assign a fixed value and click the button 
.
7. In the Equation field , define the expression corresponding to the desired operation and click the button
.
- The SoftExpert Inspection equation editor allows the creation of conditional expressions for the quality index equation, increasing flexibility in defining rules. For more information, see the new features of version 2.2.1 of the component.
- Setting the qualification index for the item/supplier is mandatory in the system in order to calculate the receiving ranking.
- To learn more about creating equations in the system, access the generic Equation Editor resource .
- For information on how to calculate the IQS in the system, please refer to the SoftExpert Supplier component documentation .
Complementary OSQI indexes

Conclusion
The OSQI allows for measuring the quality of received goods through equations configured with standardized variables. With the complementary OQI and SPI indices, the system consolidates the results by object and by supplier, offering different analytical perspectives and an objective basis for quality management.
Access the article "Configure quality indexes" for more information on configuring the indexes available in the system.
