Course: Control Plan
Leaders in professional training:
Control Plan Course: Master the AIAG 2024 Methodology for Quality Processes
At JS Training & Consulting, we developed our Control Plan course specifically to train your team to prepare control plans correctly using the methodology of the AIAG Manual, 1st Edition 2024. The program comprehensively covers the fundamental requirements of PPAP, APQP and IATF 16949, teaching how to link the control plan effectively with FMEA (AMEF) and other quality planning tools. It offers a complete solution for engineers and professionals seeking to master this critical production tool.
This control plan course offers practical knowledge and up-to-date techniques for preparing prototype, pre-launch, safe launch and production control plans, with a clear understanding of when to use each type according to the process stage. Participants can identify critical quality characteristics, establish sampling and control methods, define effective reaction plans and use the control plan as a strategic prevention tool. It also promotes an in-depth understanding of the connections between the control plan and other quality methodologies, developing professionals capable of implementing robust quality control systems aligned with international automotive standards.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Methodology for Developing Control Plans
First, participants will learn the complete methodology for developing control plans within production processes. They will also learn to apply the requirements of the AIAG Manual, 1st Edition 2024. They will therefore develop robust control plans aligned with international standards.
Linkages with Quality Tools
They will also understand connections between the control plan and tools such as FMEA (AMEF), PPAP and APQP, integrating it into the quality management system and developing a comprehensive view of quality planning methods.
Types of Control Plans
They will also learn to distinguish between different types of control plans, identifying when to develop prototype, prelaunch, safe launch and production plans. They will understand the specific characteristics of each process stage.
IATF 16949 requirements
Finally, participants understand PPAP, APQP and IATF 16949 control plan requirements. They learn to meet automotive requirements and guidelines and apply them in their processes, ensuring compliance with international automotive quality standards.
RESULTS UPON COMPLETING THE COURSE
Suitable production of Control Plans
First, participants will learn to prepare control plans correctly following the AIAG 2024 methodology. They will determine process stages and critical quality characteristics, documenting complete, effective control plans.
Distinction between Plan Types
You will also clearly distinguish between different types of control plans and know when to use each according to the product or process stage. In particular, you will identify differences between prototype, prelaunch and production plans.
Understanding Practical Usefulness
Participants will also clearly understand the purpose of each control plan. They will therefore apply the right plan at the right stage of the life cycle, maximizing the value of this prevention tool.
Definition of Control Methods
You will also be able to define appropriate sampling and control methods for each characteristic, establishing acceptance criteria and inspection frequencies. You will implement effective controls that prevent defects.
Reaction Plan implementation
Finally, participants establish clear reaction plans for deviations or nonconformities and link the control plan with FMEA (AMEF) for greater effectiveness. They use the control plan effectively, improving their response to quality issues and strengthening prevention in production processes.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Quality and Manufacturing Engineers
First, this course is intended for quality engineers who develop control plans. It is also ideal for manufacturing engineers responsible for production processes. It also benefits product engineers who define critical characteristics.
Processes development personnel
It is also perfect for department engineers involved in new product development, benefits APQP and PPAP specialists, and helps product launch coordinators.
Quality Systems Professionals
It is also recommended for internal and external quality management system auditors, helping them understand IATF 16949 control plan requirements and improve auditing competencies.
Multidisciplinary quality work teams
Finally, it is ideal for anyone involved in preparing control plans, including quality assurance, product engineering and continuous improvement staff. They develop competencies to create, implement and maintain effective control plans meeting international automotive standards.
