This 1/2-day course is widely applicable to manufacturing companies where control of process parameters and product characteristics is essential to ensure conforming outputs. The content is delivered through a series of presentation materials, combined with a variety of participant activities.

The key objectives are to enhance the participants’ existing knowledge and skills to enable them to
become more effective at managing their work process, and meeting customer requirements. The aim is
that by the end of the course, a participant will understand:

• The role of control plan in new product / service introduction, process management and improvement
• How costly process problems and product failures can be avoided
• How to develop and interpret a control plan
• How other tools and techniques support the Control Plan methodology
• The link with quality management requirements (e.g. AS9100D, AS9145)

Multidisciplinary:

Project and engineering managers, process owners & engineers, project engineers, quality engineers, sales engineers, quality auditors, and other personnel who are involved with the introduction of new products and contribute to APQP / PPAP activities. Also, those personnel who need to understand the principles and terminology in order to communicate effectively with customers and suppliers.
