Control Plan - Cockpit
Application component: Control Plan
App type: SAP GUI
Description: This component provides functions that you can use to perform comprehensive inspection planning, as required according to the international standard, ISO/TS16949. It is used in combination with the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (QM-PT-FA) component. The control plan (CP) and the FMEA play a central role in integrated inspection planning for goods receipt inspections and inspections during production. Both components allow you to prevent production defects at an early stage during product development, in particular for new developments. This reduces quality costs. A control plan is implemented for the whole production process. The control plan provides the basis for creating the inspection plans and inspection operations during the subsequent production process. 
Key features: This component supports the implementation of a control plan as part of APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning). This is particularly required in the automobile industry. The production process is split into three phases: prototype, prelaunch and production You can create and edit individual control plans for inspections in these three phases. This component provides the following functions that you can use when working with a control plan: Function  Additional Information   Control plan functions   Edit the control plan  You can create, change, display and simulate a control plan. You can also allocate different authorizations for processing a control plan.   Status management  You can display a system status and a user status.   Copy FMEA to control plan  You can assign one or more FMEA(s) to the control plan.   Copy characteristics  You can copy critical characteristics from an FMEA or other source into the control plan. You use this function to decide which characteristics are to be copied to the corresponding task lists or inspection plans. You also decide at which stage in the process the characteristics are to be included to the inspection.   Perform a consistency check  You use the consistency check to see whether the relevant task lists and inspection plans contain all of the assigned FMEA characteristics.   Display change documents for the control plan  You can display all changes made to a control plan.   Display CP structure with master data selection  An overview of the relevant master data is displayed in the structure display.

Print a control plan in a form  You can print a control plan as a PDF-based print form, according to the international standard QS 9000.   Functions when working with the control plan (CP)   Create task list or inspection plan  You can create a task list or inspection plan for a control plan item or for processes.   Change task list or inspection plan  You can branch from the control plan into the change mode for a task list or inspection plan.   Assign a project number in the control plan  You can assign a cProjects project number to a control plan.   Access a control plan or an FMEA from a quality notification  You can access a control plan or an FMEA from a quality notification   Control plan settings  You can make settings in Customizing for Quality Management, by choosing Quality Planning  Control Plan.
