CP-1 : 2024

The Control Plan, 1st edition manual, provides clarification on various requirements, further explanation on linkages to APQP processes, and detailed guidance on how to develop control plans, along with industry best practices for effectively using these plans. Additional updates include the introduction of a "Safe Launch" requirement to control plan phases, examples of developing plans for highly automated manufacturing applications, guidance on using software to develop and manage control plans, and revised examples, tables, forms, and checklists for additional support.
