Understanding Control Plans in Process Management
Control plans are essential tools for managing process risks and ensuring quality control. They focus on controlling process and product characteristics, meeting customer requirements, and having reaction plans in place. A control plan contains key information such as control factors, specifications, measurement systems, sample size, control methods, and reaction plans. Objectives of control plan training include understanding and developing control plans and linking them to Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Control plans provide a systematic approach to defining characteristics, methods, and actions for process control, verification, and auditing. Inputs to control plans may include tools like FMEA, flow charts, assembly drawings, and historical data.

Control Plans Page 2
Control Plan Control Plans: Control the risks identified in the P-FMEA (High RPNs) A structured approach to control process and product characteristics Focusses on Customer Requirements Assure reaction plans are in place in case of out-of-control conditions Provide a central document for communication of control methods A Control Plan contains following key information: Identification of the control factors The specifications and tolerances The measurement system Sample size and frequency The control method The reaction plan Control Plans are living documents, just like FMEA s 3 Page 3
Control Plan, Objectives Objectives of the training: To understand the use of a Control Plan To learn the steps to develop a Control Plan To learn how to link each step in the Control Plan to the FMEA 4 Page 4
Control Plan, Summary Control Plan, a systemic way to Control a process: Define Characteristics per process step: Machines, Devices, Jigs and Tools Product, Process and Special characteristics Define Methods per process step: Process and Product Specifications and Tolerances Measurement and Inspection techniques Sample size and frequency Actions that should be taken in case of Non Conformities 5 Page 5
Control Plan, Summary Control Plan, a systemic way to Control a process: Verify if defined steps are followed Audit the process by Control Plan on a regular base Update the Control Plan consistently 6 Page 6

Control Plans, Control Method Methods C 12. Control Method: Brief description of how the operation will be controlled When selecting the method of control, focus on: process control rather than product control preventionrather than detection targeting nominal rather than specification limits Examples: - Check sheets (weld, quality, tool, material, etc) - Preventative tooling maintenance - Variation control charts - Error/mistake proofing - SPC charts METHODS REACTION PLAN PRODUCT/PROCESS SPECIFICATION/ TOLERANCE No damage EVALUATION/ MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE Visual Inspection SAMPLE CONTROL METHOD SIZE FREQ. 1 1/Works hop OMS Inform Trainer Page 15
Control Plans, Reaction Plan D Reaction Plan 13. Reaction Plan: Specifies who to inform to make a decision or what to do when a process goes out of control Written for people closest to the process (e.g. replace a drill) Review systemic root cause and update the FMEA Examples: - Call supervisor - 100% Inspection until the process is back in control - Calibrate equipment METHODS REACTION PLAN PRODUCT/PROCESS SPECIFICATION/ TOLERANCE No damage EVALUATION/ MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE Visual Inspection SAMPLE CONTROL METHOD SIZE FREQ. 1 1/Works hop OMS Inform Trainer Page 16

Control Plans, Next Steps Next Steps to H-Y Suppliers: 1. Know your customers expectations - CTQ s (Critical to Quality Characteristics) Have a defined and documented production process (SOE) Follow 5S Principles Employ a formal training system Involve the people on the shop floor Audit the production process constantly Manage supplied parts and control supplier performance Measure/monitor key quality performance indicators Use an effective Corrective & Preventative Action Process 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. FMEA and Control Plans are mandatory for PPAP submission level 3. Page 18

Quality Focus Day Workshop List of acronyms: CTQ: Critical To Quality, a characteristic judged to be important to the fit and function of a component or assembly as well as customer satisfaction FMEA: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis ICAM: Interactive Corrective Action Management OMS: Operational Method Sheet Off Tool: (Production Tooling) - When a part is said to be Off Tool it is required that the part be manufactured using the exact tooling which will be used for long-term production. This does NOT mean the parts were manufactured from tooling that is like or similar to the intended production tooling. Off Process:(Production Process) When a part is said to be Off Process it is required that the part be manufactured and tested using the exact process that will be used for long-term production. This does NOT mean the parts were manufactured using a like or similar or less than 100% completed process. P.A.: Part Approval process to determine if part characteristics and specifications are understood and met by the supplier.
