Control Plan Template
A control plan in the columns aerospace customers expect, with a line check that flags missing reaction plans, methods, gauge studies and capability on key characteristics before a reviewer does.

The problem it solves
A control plan is where the risk assessment, the drawing and the first article turn into what the shop floor actually does. In many shops it is written once for a customer submission and never touched again: reaction plans that say 'notify supervisor', key characteristics with no gauge study or capability behind them, and controls that no longer match the router. This template carries the columns customers expect under AS9145 and AS9103, checks every line for what is missing, and counts the gaps so the plan can be kept honest at every revision.
Who uses it
Manufacturing and quality engineers who own the process; supervisors and inspectors who work to it.
When
Before first article and production release; at every drawing, process, tooling or supplier change; after a corrective action changes a control; and before a customer source inspection or audit.
