Is this for you?
- Your control plan lists checks that operators don't actually do.
- Reaction plans say "inform supervisor" and nothing more.
- The control plan wasn't updated after the last process change or customer complaint.
- You're unsure what the latest AIAG Control Plan manual changed.
Who should attend
Quality and process engineers, supervisors, and line leaders who own or use control plans.
What participants practise
- Building a control plan from a PFMEA: characteristics, special characteristics, methods, sample size and frequency
- Writing reaction plans that tell the operator exactly what to do
- Linking the control plan to work instructions, inspection sheets and MSA
- Prototype, pre-launch and production control plans: what changes between them
- Walking a control plan on the line and checking it against reality
Choose the format
| Format | For | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Awareness (4 hours) | Supervisors, operators | What the control plan asks of them and why |
| Practitioner (1 day) | Engineers | Building and maintaining a control plan linked to the PFMEA |
4 hours includes a tea break; a full day is about 8 hours, with lunch and two tea breaks. This course is also part of the core tools courses. Often combined with the FMEA course. Reviewing your own control plan against your PFMEA and your floor is a full review, done as consulting: see the FMEA & Control Plan Review.
What changes afterwards
What's on the control plan is what's done on the line, and reaction plans work when something goes wrong.
Questions people ask
Which reference do you follow?

Can this be combined with FMEA training?
Yes. Together they make the most sense.
