AIAG Core Tools – Control Plan Training
The Control Plan is a core quality management system requirement, mandatory under IATF 16949 in the automotive industry. It defines the product and process characteristics that must be controlled to deliver defect-free products meeting customer and engineering expectations; it establishes the documentation structure in which prototype, pre-launch, Safe Launch and production controls are planned. Grupas' 1-day classroom training addresses the PFD → FMEA → Control Plan relationship end to end, equipping participants with the capability to build an applicable control strategy supported by sample formats.
Benefits of the Training for Your Company
- Full compliance with IATF 16949 and customer-specific requirements: reduced risk of nonconformity in audit and PPAP processes
- Zero-defect oriented production: lower scrap, rework and customer complaint costs through correct designation of special characteristics (SC/CC)
- Phase-based control capability: correct design of prototype, pre-launch, Safe Launch and production control plans, and a smooth transition to serial production
- A consistent, traceable quality system integrated with FMEA, Reverse FMEA and LPA (Layered Process Audit)
- Rapid intervention in abnormal situations thanks to effective reaction plans, reducing downtime and quarantine costs
- Efficiency in control costs and process stability with SPC, Cpk/Ppk and optimized sampling frequencies
- Creating an in-house standard with control plan checklists, forms and examples; discipline in revision management
- The right control approach for highly automated and Black Box processes
