Understanding The ISO/TS
16949:2002 Standard
Annex A
Control
Plan
A
1 Phases of the Control Plan
The Control Plan must
cover three distinct phases as
appropriate.
a)
Prototype: a description of the dimensional measurements,
material and performance tests that will take place during the
building of the prototype. You must have a prototype Control
Plan if required by the customer.
b)
Pre-launch: a description of the dimensional measurements,
material and performance tests that will take place after
prototype and before full production. Pre-launch is defined as a
production phase in the product realization process, which may
be required after prototype build.
c)
Production: documentation of product/process characteristics,
process controls, tests and measurement systems that take place
during mass production
Each part must have a
Control Plan, but in many cases, family Control Plans may cover
a number of similar parts produced using a common process.
Control Plans are an output of the quality
plan.
