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. 

A 2 Elements of the Control Plan 

You must develop a Control Plan that includes as a minimum, the following information: 

a)   General data 

Þ            Control plan number 

Þ            Issue date, and revision dat, if any 

Þ            Customer information (see customer requirements) 

Þ            Organization’s name/site designation 

Þ            Part number(s) 

Þ            Part name/designation 

Þ            Engineering change level 

Þ            Phase covered – (prototype; pre-launch or production) 

Þ            Key contact 

Þ            Part/process step number 

Þ            Process name/operation description 

b)   Product Control 

Þ            Product related special characteristics 

Þ            Other characteristics for control (number, process or product) 

Þ            Specification/tolerance 

c)   Process Control 

Þ            Process parameters 

Þ            Process-related special characteristics 

Þ            Machines, jigs, fixtures, tools for manufacturing 

d)   Methods 

Þ            Evaluation measurement technique 

Þ            Error-proofing 

Þ            Sample size and frequency 

Þ            Control method 

e)   Reaction Plan and Corrective Actions 

Þ            Reaction plan ( include or reference) 

Þ            Corrective action
