What is a Control Plan?

 

The Control Plan is a document that describes the actions (measurements, inspections, quality checks or monitoring of process parameters) required at each phase of a process to assure the process outputs will conform to pre-determined requirements.

​

Through this system of monitoring and control, customer requirements will be met and the product or process variation will be reduced.

​

This is not a replacement for detailed operator instructions in the form of work instructions or standard operating procedures.

 

Each part or process must have a control plan.
