Course Details

Description

Control Plans contain the operational details that your process needs to function, in simple terms the Control Plan is the operational directions for the process. The Control Plan also plays a role in the success of other tools like your FMEA and your SPC, however very few individuals possess the adequate detail and knowledge about this document to make it highly effective as well as efficient. In this 1-day course we will dive into the world of Control Plan 1st edition and take a look at not only understanding what it should look like, but also showing you how to implement it using best practices and expertise from the field.

We arranged this course for a variety of learners, but there is one constant …this class is for beginners.

  • Engineers looking to create their first control plan
  • Auditors looking to get more information on what a control plan SHOULD contain
  • Associates looking to get back into Control Plans, and looking for what may have evolved over time

We know that the control plan is one of the most highly scrutinized documents in the core tools series, and so we took extra time in the course on some areas frequently overlooked. We know you can build it, but can you sustain it? These areas of focus represent the result of decades working clients to help your efforts around control plan succeed.

  • We put special emphasis Product and Process Characteristics so that you get the causal relationships correct
  • We strategize Sample size and frequency so that you do not ruin an otherwise high functioning FMEA
  • We included best practices around monitoring the control plan, so that changes do not sneak up and ruin your control strategy

Overall this is the most comprehensive class on the subject of control plans, covering everything from their development, to their maintenance.
